GOD…HOPE Chapbook Series XI

Poem 11: “….a POEM”

Today’s short and sweet poem is the eleventh in a series of publishing one poem a week from my chapbook, “GOD…HOPE.” The short collection (12 poems) situates my support for Palestine within my faith and especially within the Gospel of Christ Jesus. This is a variety of styles, including spoken word and haiku, and is filled with not just imagery from my Christian faith and life, but several cultures I’ve come into contact with over the years.

I pray this poem, and the series, blesses you.

Poem 11: “….a POEM”

He is my Redeemer

and He liveth upon the earth!

praise the God of hosts

the Lord of battles

the King of my heart.

i know not what’s inside me,

but in its midst

He reigns.

He made

it

and He made

me.

amen.
