In Poetry, Perchance The Heavenly... Poem by Denis Martindale

Behold the realm of poetry... for earthbound hearts and minds...
The common man and royalty... whoever heeds the signs...
To pause, perceiving for a while.. another's tale when told...
Esteeming it and then to smile... at truths worth more than gold...

A word of wisdom stretches out... beyond the pages stored...
With insights spreading all about... anointed by the Lord...
As if the poem came from Christ... within a mortal soul...
Who suddenly has realised... each servant plays their role...

For one, it could be prayer alone... to intercede for all...
For one, it's merely talent shown... no matter, great or small...
For not all write like poets can... some treasure to compose...
That pleases God and pleases Man... like those that share a rose...

God's poet strives towards the best... devoted to each phrase...
To meditate more than the rest... content to give God praise...
To share a foretaste sweet as wine... to pass the message on...
As if to say, 'It's ours, not mine... For soon, I must be gone...'

God's poets know that life's too short... and write with all their might...
Declaring every noble thought... before they, too, take flight...
And if it comes that I depart... I leave my legacy...
The poetry within my heart... perchance the heavenly...
