Denis Martindale Poems

There was a presence, close to me,
With soft-like sounds no more,
At first, a solemn mystery
Until I could be sure...
...

The leopard left his sleep behind,
Arose and walked around
And with that walk his waking mind
Was glad at what he found...
...

The elephants had made their way
To where the water was,
The mother and her calf to stay
Until their time to cross...
...

The lion stands his ground again,
Reflecting on his fate,
Remembering his youth and when
Nobody thought him great...
...

The day arrived and I felt glad,
I was to be baptised...
To follow through on all I had,
Transformed by Jesus Christ!
...

From generation to generation
Jerusalem is blessed,
So behold the revelation,
For it is manifest!
...

Does a smile begin from nowhere,
A tear from outer space?
Or do they come from hearts that care
To settle on each face?
...

When we see Earth from outer space,
Our hearts are warmed within,
Revealed in splendour, Godly grace,
Life's journey to begin...
...

When Colin bought a computer, he didn't know a thing!
So in fact, without a tutor, he spent a lot, ker-ching!

So he plugged it in and waited... The PC screen stayed black!
...

Though we pen poems by the ream,
As if to praise God's perfect theme,
When tired out, we sleep and dream
And sometimes to a mad extreme...
...
