How Do Poets Perceive The World? Poem by Denis Martindale

How do poets perceive the world? Enough to share their thoughts,
Enough to know in space it swirled, according to reports,
Enough to know it has one moon which then reflects the sun,
Enough to know won't make them swoon, but poems can be fun.
To think, that poets may observe, like microscopes for Man,
Or telescopes for stars that swerve and twinkle when they can.
To think that love excites the mind and thrills the heart as well
And yet some say that love is blind despite what poets tell.

I've seen the sun, the moon and stars, so distant there above,
They come and go, as seasons pass and prove more than enough
To show that God created all and not just space and time,
With Man His greatest miracle, once perfect, once sublime.
To think, that Adam led to Eve and billions now on Earth,
Who live until it's time to leave and face what they deserve.
When Christ will judge our works and faith, rewarding those who cared,
For only He lost souls could save, such that they could be spared.

For God so loved the world it's said, He did not spare His Son,
That Christ to Calvary was led to die for everyone.
This world includes each mortal soul, each sinner lost to sin,
Until the Saviour makes them whole, their very souls to win.
That's why this poet must perceive what waits for all Mankind,
Especially if we believe the Saviour we must find.
He can be found this very day, as Easter proves to us.
If in His Name we truly pray. What is His Name? JESUS!
