Five have gathered by =platinummyr:iconplatinummyr:



Worship

Words cannot describe
The experience felt here.
This is a poor attempt to
Phrase the heart
Of those who partake.
Five people become six,
As each clasps the hand
Of another soul.
Times of silence fill the
Sanctuary, as hearts
Enjoy his presence.
The carpet, soft
Beneath their feet,
The grand windows,
The angled pews,
And the instruments
of praise
are not what matters.
Rather, it is the fire in their hearts,
The sweat of another's palm,
The words spoken aloud,
The heart felt worship,
The praise from the soul
And God Almighty.
The joy felt
Cannot be expressed.
The tears dropped
Cannot be understood.
His presence there
Cannot be fathomed.
Closing comes, and
They must leave,
Though hour's may
Seem barely minutes.
Time betrays them,
To give a taste of eternity.

The original title was Worship. I wrote this for English, just got it back today, and LOVE it. So, I thought I'd post it here. There is no scheme, other than I chose to end lines where I wanted.

The poem is about the experience that five of my friends had, after one of the monthly worship meetings that my highschool puts on. One of them said, I think this isn't done, after the worship time ended. She, and 4 others went to pray. On sunday, two days later, they had called the youth pastor. They talked about what happened, and I wrote a poem about it. During their prayer time, they started at 9 and ended when they were kicked out because the church HAD to close. They didn't want it to end, but it had too. When they were praying, God met them, in a more real way than he would normally. They could feel his presence, and I could tell they weren't speaking anything but truth.

The only thing that saddened me about this, is that I almost stayed, but I chose to go home instead. Its alright though, I have a feeling that I wasn't ready at the time to go through it. I wasn't seeking enough.

It reminds me of when about ten kids got in the gazeboo at the town's square. It was cold... it was raining... it was early... and we had no clue because we were doing exactly as described in the poem.

This is really cool.. must of been a very special experience.. my religion is something that I am very 'undecided' on.. I don't talk about it very much to anyone, because no one will listen without judgement and rarely with care or interest. So I think it's great that you are sure where you stand.. and that the people in your poem are too.. it's very important.. and it's nice that you've found it.

Hey... I'll listen. I believe that we CANNOT judge people, because ONLY when we cannot be condemned can we condemn. I KNOW I am not worthy to say I am perfect. I also enjoy talking about religion. If you do ever wanna talk about it, I won't judge ya, and if you DO think I am judging yah, bash me with a stick! Hahaha, jk on that part, but you can tell me, and why. Then I will ask ya to forgive me on that :)

Thanks for the comment!
