This beautiful, Roy, and so true. God bestows gifts upon us and they are to be used to bless others. When He inspires us to write, we know that someone needs the message and He will direct it to them

God gives us creatures gifts of various sorts. They are given without a call or repentance. So many times I have seen this in various people and realize how true it is. Good write Bro.

Beautiful poem, Roy! I loved "What stirs the scribal cauldron's lust
that moves the pen to write?
What mysteries the quill brings forth.
does wisdom forge the light?"
and "But I know this, that I will write
that truth is next of kin."
And that you give the glory to God, the Master gave all gifts to use for Him.

I can't answer your question. I can only say I write for
relaxation, if my writings bring pleasure to others then
they and I are both satisfied. Exceptional, my friend.

Wow this poem.blows my mind. Wish i had six stars left. Umm "the canyons of my mind"...love it. Also "Healer of all rifts"...
Isn't it great how we retrieve these poems from.somewhere in our mind? It's like they already exist within and it is our job to retrieve them.
Love your poem & scripture in author's notes.
Thanks to you

Very well crafted or should I say, a great creation. Because I agree with this and your notes. I think people were made in God's image, and like God we are fascinated with creation, be that through painting, drawing, music, writing or even making babies.

Interesting picture for an intriguing poem.

The poem is well formed. It poses questions that, in truth, are usually unanswerable. Admits lack of answer and then continues with relevant observations. The rhyme pattern is consistent and the reading flows well.

A good read. Thanks for sharing.
