Are you a poet?
I'd like to hear about your poetic journey. You can talk about or post any poem to solicit feedback, if you want. I'll start with one of mine called "The Fall"
Note: For the record I only use the pronoun "He" to reference God because it is the public norm. I truly believe and understand that God is gender neutral (after all he has created all of them). If you like you can replace "He" with whatever pronoun you prefer as you read the poem.
The Fall
By Zane D. Dowling
I saw a leaf fall to the ground
one cold forbidding winter’s day.
This death so slight yet so profound,
Brought pause to think on life this way:
How quick and frail this life I see,
If once this leaf in time must fall.
How long ere when this leaf is me;
till life doth yield to death’s harsh call.
But with more thought I understand
the mysteries of this cold world,
I cannot know as mortal man
such things till life's flag's unfurled.
So I travel through God's love song
And when I fall, for sure I must,
as each of us must do ere long
I’ve faith in He who’s made me thus.
I'll sing His praises all my days,
and submit to Him all my ways.
