The Pebbles

by ddavidd   Nov 14, 2018


O honesty
the all mighty God:
please bless me to be able to see
and recognise all my frauds,

shed light upon
my well-hidden flaws,
give me a chance to change for real
instead of
hiding my vengeful claws,

please shed light in where I am not yet with you
show me where I can be authentic and true,

please help me
to win my fights,
verses my mute mistakes,
in my deceptions
where I am unauthentic and fake,
help me be a heart
full of my brethren’s sorrows
and aches.

O please let me be a pond
which with rainbow of your heart is spawned,

with my transparent deeds
that appear
like the pebbles on its ground
as prayer-beads,
through the deep glares of irradiance's spears,
found
more bold, getatable and near,
more heightened and sheer
and crystal
clear.

    I loved the erratic flow of this piece, almost as erratic as the subject. It almost rhymes, it almost makes sense, there is almost a form to it. The tone is unusual. Yet pieced together it works and is very clever. It gets you thinking. It had me smiling and nodding. A clever write from Bob. 7 points

    Wow. I think I have been tranced by the plead-poem. What a heart touching piece. I felt I was the reader and I was the writer. I felt as though it was my voice. I think in your poem there is everyone's voice, but not all people have the courage to make this plea. Thanks for sharing, very unique verses.
