The Passion Of The Spirit-Filled Poet! Poem by Denis Martindale

He didn't know the title yet, yet faith took full control
And you know how some poets get when something stirs the soul…
Then heart and mind come into play, sometimes the spirit, too,
Then, suddenly, without delay, that poem's coming through!
The love the poet holds within can now come to the fore,
Such that new lines can then begin to build up and restore…
To comfort broken hearts again, to let new beacons shine,
To bring some light to guide all men or some sad Valentine…

The audience has no idea, just like that poet there,
Who battles darkness making clear what's noble, pure and fair…
No tainted words to stab or wound, to leave us high and dry,
Or on some island left marooned, no rescue ships nearby…
That poet loves to help Mankind, that poet loves to write,
That poet shares what he can find, no matter, day or night…
When time and space no longer seem the limits of all things,
He sits alone, as in a dream, yet sees the King of Kings…

Then unto Him, that poet walks, in Heaven, up above,
Thus with God's Son, he daily talks about this thing called love…
‘What must I write today, my Lord? What must I write this time? '
And then he listens, overawed, to hear truths quite sublime…
With thanks beyond my heart or yours, that poet writes them all,
God's wisdom shared so it assures faith for a miracle…
Though doubters think all poets sad, my friends, if you but knew,
The way God makes His poets glad when they do what they do!
