Thorns among surviving lilies
still darkness hides silently
true glory shining bright
radiant blooming petals
lush and colorful oasis
permeating fragrance
pruning and loving
perpetual springs
fertile ground
Christ within
Living
within Christ
ground fertile
springs perpetual
loving and pruning
fragrance permeating
oasis colorful and lush
petals blooming radiant
bright shining glory true
silently hides darkness still
lilies surviving among thorns
Lord, help us not be afraid of those who scorn, even if thistles and thorns are with us…help us not to lose heart but to share Your love instead. Let Your Word fall on the fertile ground of our souls and bear much fruit. Prune the garden of our hearts by Your love and grace. Remind us that there is no darkness that Your Light cannot penetrate. Let our constant prayers of thankfulness be a sweet fragrance to you. Amen.
This poem is called a Palindrome, or mirrored poetry. It reads the same forward and backward! Try one….it’s fun! I would also call it Word Art since the words paint a picture of Jesus as caretaker of our hearts.

Wow, a new favorite. Such a gift from our Lord to you. Scotti, have you checked out Faith Walk ? You will be blessed. She is not a poetry blogger, but you will be blessed in a different way. Blessings to you. Sandi
