+ 9TH POEMS: Poem With Which I Woke Before 11:39PM, EST, October 10th, 2025

To God;s Word, I have always felt an innate attraction.

But on the sharp shoals of my own sins, my soul was shipwrecked.

Yet. Jesus---like a young, shoeless man---entered, gently, to effect

repairs to rebuild it to His satisfaction.


Starward-Led

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The second line alludes to 1 Timothy 1:19; the third line alludes to my memories of Gary L---- during the summer of 1969.
