In my newest poem, I'm kind of continuing along the same vein as my
last poem, in that it's full of analogy and metaphor. For understanding
purposes, the web in this poem represents your life, the plans you
have, and the way you think things are going to go. The stone that
messes things up (makes a hole) represents kinks in the plans,
frustrating circumstances, and hard Providences. Since God's in
control, these "rocks" all come from His hand, and railing against them
and the subsequent "holes" they make is nothing less than being
discontent with His purposes. Oh that I would always remember that the
Blessed Controller of all things is good and kind, working everything
for MY good.
My web is deftly made
And no one will invade
The threads that are so rightly placed.
I look at it with pride
Right here I will abide
For it completely fits my taste
But look! here comes a stone
That someone else has thrown
It rips a hole right through my place.
I look with much disgust
But now I must adjust
It seems this hole I must embrace
I wouldn't have picked this hole
But I cannot control
The things that will be brought my way.
I see my web is frail
And rocks will all prevail
To put my web in disarray
So I will change my mind,
Accept the holes I find
Without a grumbling sigh or moan. Becoming discontent
Will make me just resent
The Hand controlling every stone
I love the lines, "Becoming discontent will make me just resent the hand controlling every stone." <--so good!
That's a very good poem! I really need to start writing poems again, I love writing them but just don't take the time to anymore.
Excellent!
That's a sweet poem. It took me a second to realize it was a spider's type web. But I caught on quick.
So I've been keeping busy since I've been home from school, but the school, and work, hasn't stopped -- which I'm rather glad for. God is leading the way, in a way I don't know how to read, but trusting Him, I continue to move forward, pressing on toward the mark of Christ.

RYC: Try watching it in a dark room on a big screen, listening to it on loud speakers. Definitely moves you to tears.
