QUOTE (JustDaniel @ Jul 2 17, 21:25 )
To Meet With God
To meet with God in worship, I
bow down to lift my voice and cry
out, Holy Lord... I know Your rod
of justice humbles me, who's flawed.
Your grace is in the morning sky.
I need Your Word so I'll apply
it to my heart and to You fly
with friends who meet, though we're too blah'd
to meet with God.
I say, Hello and do not lie,
I'm glad to see you! But I sigh,
I need some quiet to be awed...
a moment just to rest my bod.
I've mostly come here to draw nigh
to meet with God.

Hi there, Daniel;
this looks like a nicely executed rondeau, even though I stay away from this form because I'm more of a teller of stories in ballad form. What makes me smile is your use of "informal" language like "bod, blah'd," in your personal communication with God. The line, "... it to my heart and to You fly," reads a bit awkward--but it's readable, and I don't think God is much of a grammarian. I can appreciate your footnote. Enjoyed,
Ali
