"my faith restors" is a perfect repetation line for the poem! it sets the tone to the piece , whereas hope continues it.
thank you for sharing!

Comment from Steve Pantazis
I got a little seasick with the off-kilter rhythm of this piece, but as always, I enjoy your personal touch and use of words. I prefer a steadier rhythm, and although you explain the change in pace, I wouldn't have understood why the transitions were so abrupt had you not gone into depth about them. Overall, a fun read.

Loved the essence of this poem. The challenge of holding onto faith when things are at their worst is a tough one. I liked the style and the rhythm was great. Nice job.

Comment from ruzu27
A very beautiful poem with an interesting rhyme and the refrain lines. The first stanza is so wonderfully positive.
"My faith restores me dawn by dawn
as silent night gives way to song,
and life, once huddled in the night,
begins to stir with morning light
as if the day had never gone."
You chose a beautiful artwork and color for your poem. Thank you for sharing, Brooke.
I see, we never run out of things to learn.

Comment from GracieAnn
This Faith Poetry contest entry is powerful. The line "At times when troubles last too long and keep the cloak of darkness drawn" depicts well the woundedness of life's sorrows. Light triumphs over darkness. On candle lit in total darkness is powerfully dispelling. :0 GracieAnn

Your skillfully-written, sincere spiritual poem effectively implies strong faith in God by speaking of hope overcoming despair. I really like this.

Comment from MelReyn
Breathtaking. You are a master indeed. Still can't get over how you do it, writing something as wonderful as this while working rhythm and rhyming and... whew. Makes my head spin!
I don't even know what to say other than this shows a strength that I greatly admire. Awesome!

You were definitely up to the challenge a rondeau presents. I am very impressed with your craftsmanship, Brooke, and really like your message. An excellent refrain! I, too, find each new dawn spiritually uplifting. A lovely poem. Rod

Faith is a wonderful blanket and restorer. When all else fails and life seems to pinch the heart, it's wonderful to look up at the stars and know you have someone who knows and cares.
Enjoyed this beautiful poem.
