Garments Of Faith Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

Garments Of Faith

Rating: 4.5


May I be cloaked in garments
sewn with taut threads of faith
protecting from tempests
and cruel blows of life

May it be thick and warming
to huddle from the frost
of icebergs harsh colliding
and avalanches tossed

May I be shod with sandals
the kind the Master wore
to brace against the vipers
and desert blister sores

My fingers, oh so feeble,
may they bear just one ring
no end and no beginning
eternal love to bring

And may my mouth be silent
so I could hear his word
still speaking from the heavens
and by creation heard

My eyes may they look upward
way deep into the blue
beyond the clouds and starlight
from whence my soul once flew

May I be cloaked in garments
sewn with taut threads of faith
protecting from tempests
and cruel blows of life.
