Poem Commentary

The BOOK is a good read, containing mystery, triumph, deceit and redemption, better than HDTV....try it.

THE BOOK

Hmmm, let's see I've had enough of T.V.

All these visions really bore me

As I spy around my abode for what to do next

There, where? 

Over there on the nightstand

I did spy, a black book leaning on its side

Inviting and mysterious was its beckon

I reckon, what the heck, why not read THE BOOK

But what type of book will it be, that captivates me

That scares me, shows love and war situations

And dares me to be bad or good consequentially

Looking for a challenge I opened THE BOOK down the middle.

The words spoke to me quite ominously about Heaven

and 

Earth

and something about in the beginning all there was 

was the WORD.

So I continue to leaf thru out of a passion for guidance,

for knowledge and I was laid low and taken high by all

of the information that it contained inside. 

Words, Places and People long gone but with very similar 

struggles and journeys like the ones I have been on. 

Reading for hours, I grew tired and wouldn't you know the last 

words I remember read like a lullaby....Psalm 23!

Muttering thanks to family and adversaries, but mostly praising

GOD as I drift off to sleep, thanking him for the Love and 

Reference in THE BOOK, these words are meant to inspire

for eternity! 

THE BOOK.....

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
