My Poetry, My Heart

"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words."
-Robert Frost

          So, I am EXTREMELY self-conscious of my poetry. I have been writing a lot the past few months, but feel very few people wish or deserve to peer into my soul. This being mostly true, God has given me a gift for writing, and I need to share it, so my next few posts are some poems I have written. Yes, I am aware they can be a little too singsong-y for "serious" poetry. At its core, though, poetry is just another way of turning human experiences into something expressible. It makes life feel less confusing or more bearable. It echoes the rhythm of beauty that God set in motion at the beginning of this world. Poetry is from Yahweh, no doubt about it. So here goes, baring my soul to you, readers. It is likely no one will read this anyway, so I'm a little less scared to post. But if you do read this, I desperately hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
