    Poem Commentary

    Poetry to me often takes on a challenge in and of itself. This poem was simply an attempt to make rhymes, using the "ain" or "ame" endings to words. The result was much more than I ever expected, but you know what? That is how God is...He is MUCH more than you would ever expect...and that is the purpose behind this poem now. To share with you about a God that is great than anything you could ever expect...so enjoy that surprise.

    Sweet Stain

    Salt no longer penetrates our wounds,
      only scars remain,
    a sweet sound of an angel chorus,
      praising His name.

    Unspeakable spoken, revealing great hurt,
      tears like spring rains,
    joy permeates lasting nightmares,
      peaceful love tames.

    Undeniable, His grace abounds here,
      no room to complain,
    hope and glory, blessing our lives,
      His promise we claim.

    His blood at the cross' foot,
      washes away our pain,
    "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
      Father, why th' sweet stain?

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
