At dVerse Poets Pub today Anna calls us to think about our diaphanous diction, the words we love and are drawn to, and the type of poetry we normally write. The word “beloved” immediately came to mind. It’s one I use a lot and will continue to use because it describes my very being in a way no other word can.
In thinking about the type of poetry I write, I have been accused of too often focusing on the things of God. But I find that is where my heart is, where I dwell as beloved.
I Believe
I believe
I am beloved
I believe
with all my heart
I believe
You are God
Creator of the universe
and this earthly planet I trod
I believe
You are compassion
Died for me so I could live
I believe
Your Word is truth
My source of life and love
I believe
I am beloved
Because You declare it
in Your Word
