I enjoy reading poetry–duh, I’m a liturgy need! I’ve also made an attempt or two at composing some poems myself. Here is a poem titled “Over All.”

This is not the way it was supposed to be.

Things were intended to be different.

Death and darkness, storm and shadow

Chaos and chronic dissatisfaction whirling around us

Running, ruling, reigning our lives.

Or are they?

You are LORD over all things

You are the one, the only

Creativity and grace, beauty and mercy

Your will and your way

You are truly our shield, our protection

Though the waters rise and the fires rage,

Your love cannot be quenched.

The world will be put to rights.

All things are to be reconciled

You will make all things new

You reign. You restore. You satisfy.

– Porter C. Taylor
