That is a nice Kyrielle, Jim. You picked a great subject matter for this poem. The repeating line really works. You have almost got me interested in trying one of those.

Excellent execution of a Kyrielle poem and a perfectly lovely poem too. The rhymes are easy and natural. The words are well chosen and the topic never strays from the theme. I liked it.

This work has reached the exceptional level

This is beautifully presented, nice rhymes, serene refrain, fine syllable count (as prayers can be one or two syllables according to Google search.)

Nice how you take us from night to dawn...
Faith filled and a real contender!

Good luck!

Karenina

This is a good entry into the Kyrielle Poetry Contest. The text is a good size for reading. The message is clearly stated and easily understood. It reads like a prayer or a song in a hymn book. The refrain you selected reads well in the poem. I would write the last refrain with a lower case "easing" as in the other verses. Put a comma after the preceding line. The last refrain is a phrase and not a sentence just like it was in the other verses. The visual fits well. Good luck in the contest.

Wonderful entry for the Kyrielle Contest.

Good rhyme and meter scheme that doesn't sound forced. Nice presentation and imagery. Good luck in the contest.

A lovely kyrielle. I see your definition didn't require the iambic meter which is more typical so you met the form according to the contest rules.
In life we do have so many earthly cares but we can trust God and read His Word. Best wishes in the contest!

The line you have chosen for the repetition is perfect because throughout day and night, God repeatedly eases our earthly cares. Rhyme and flow are well done.
