[hometext] => How would you answer the question?
[bodytext] => Swept away, as if in a dream I find myself naked and alone Through a dark tunnel I see a wondrous light beckoning to me As I walk I hear voices of confusion Sounds of wailing and pleas for help I am terrified now straight to my bones Can they not see the light that is shone? I arrive at a huge lighted archway Brightness obstructs my view of what awaits me beyond Doubt feels my entire being now Do I dare step inside With one deep breath I take that step In an instant I feel as if I have travelled a million miles I stand befuddled waiting for my senses to return and I open my eyes The most magnificent room ever imagined is where I stood A floor of gold and marble that only could have been laid by the most master of craftsman Columns reach up and seem to hold up the very sky Rows and rows of candles are burning bright as a new born stars A group of people lie ahead I fear to approach So I sneak behind these massive columns Wishing to gain some insight as to where I am I see a throne A power figure sits upon the throne but a bright glow conceals his face I can feel his very presence in the room I am in awe of his very being A man approaches wearing an expensive suit His watch is gold and he has many other great things He removes his wallet overflowing with money The great figure on the throne responds with “No, that is not what I am looking for” A beautiful woman approaches wearing provocative clothing An entourage follows with cameras clicking She starts to dance and sings a very impressive song But the great figure responds with “No, that is not what I am looking for” A man in uniform decorated with many medals approaches now The man draws his sword and lays it at the foot of the throne With a bark of his order two men begin to fight to the death The great figure responds “No, that is not what I am looking for” Yet another man approaches wearing thick glasses and a long white coat His arms filled with books and scrolls He scratches out theory and equations feverishly onto a large board Still the great figures says “No, that is not what I am looking for” Great terror fills me as I hear a great voice reverberate through my entire body You there hiding among the pillars Come out and answer this question What is the greatest thing you can give unto me? Filled with embarrassment I realize I have nothing I am sorry my lord I have nothing I stand before you as the day I was born All I have is myself, my faith and my honor to offer you The great figure says “Yes, that is exactly what I am looking for” [comments] => 6 [counter] => 232 [topic] => 11 [informant] => poisonpen00ad [notes] => |||||||Incorrect spelling has been corrected, as requested. ---Moderator_14||||||| [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 23 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => ChristianPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
