A River Runs Through Me

A River Runs Through Me

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

A River Runs Through Me

 

Grace that sustains,

Mercy that rains.

Hope that lets me believe,

Love that sets me free.

 

A flow ongoing,

A stream in the sowing.

A gentle peace,

A river runs through me.

 

Unleashed power much bigger than I,

Yet, on the inside of me it resides.

Flowing through my soul

Is the Holy Ghost.

 

Like a wind fills a sail,

And my lungs fill with air…

My heart is at ease,

A river runs through me.

 

A love ever a stream,

Nothing could ever diminish its strength.

Rushing through and through

Is a powerful truth.

 

Undeserving am I,

But thanks be to Christ

Who sets me free,

A river runs through me.

I enjoyed reading this poem. It was a good idea, and you executed it well. Could be just my taste, but the last two stanzas didn't have the same strength as the previous ones. I think it would've been just fine if you left those out. Good work, though.

This is wonderful! I'm religious myself and I love the spirituality to this. Now being spiritual doesn't always mean someone is religious, but in short, I do like this poem as a whole!
