Why Poetry in Motion?

Well, I finally decided to join the blog world. The title "poetry in motion" came to mind one day. Maybe the Motown tune was in my head or something. I was thinking that the life of a believer should be like poetry in motion. God makes us a new creation in Him and it is nothing less than miraculous. Poetry is prose reinvented just as a believer is a human transformed. We are constantly sojourning in the path of Life in Jesus and so we are in motion. Today, as if in confirmation of all my mulling, I read a great quote by Spurgeon that says, "the believer's graces: are not every one of them in constant motion?" We are made alive in Christ and His work of grace is lived out in us. And so, to the believers out there- you are in Christ a sort of poetry in motion. May He fill you with His joy today.

Here's a little poem to kick off the site:

golden leaves are fallen, fallen on the ground
Autumn's expectations began green and lush, high and lofty
slowly and with splendor, they carpet the earth
surrendering to change with beauty and delicacy

thin empty branches are left reaching heavenward
pointing to the fulfillment of all expectation

Desire of the Nations, Desire of my heart
All promises in You are Yes and Amen
golden Fall reminds me.
glory to You.
