Fear Not

Fear Not

A Poem by Melanie Jane Boicourt Shanks

I'm

alone

none around,

but I fear not.

I know You are there.

You are with me always,

for You are everywhere.

Creator Of Everything,

You are the Protector Of My Soul.

The Beginning, The End, The Love, The Light,

Alpha and Omega restoring my sight.

You are Infinite Perfection, making me whole.

Beautiful Mejasha! I love how you started your poem with one word and slowly built the crescendo through the build up of words. "Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear." the Bible says. Isn't it amazing that belief in our Creator and having a personal relationship with Him has the ability to do that? This poem gives incredible life to all who have read it and will read. So few words and yet packs a powerful punch! Amazing job.

Mejasha-

That was really touching.

"I'm
alone
none around
but, I fear not,
for You are there."

You will never be alone. None of us will. Love and companionship are very wonderful things.

Great write!

A poem from the heart, written with compassion and adoration. It reminded me of Psalm 23, where God is portrayed as a faithful Shepherd, who provides for us, without sparing a single detail.

Exquisite share!

No one is misspelled. It should be no one. If you change it and shift the next line one space right the symmetry will be preserved. This is a well thought out piece.
