Psalm 91:11 - And He will give His Angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways.
Yesterday I wrote:
From Denny: Since this particular poem was a hard write, and I'm a bit emotionally tired and saturated to say the least, here's the link to my latest poem over at The Social Poets, called Rock, My Children. Found some awesome art photos over at flickr to illustrate it!
Rock, My Children is about how to deal with loss. Never planned on writing about these experiences but lately there has been so much news about people encountering terrible loss in their lives. And, here it is the 911 anniversary, a tough day for so many folks all over the world.
When I was fishing around for inspiration I found Robin's blog Naked in Eden and some of those word phrases sprinkled throughout one of her posts just struck me right (like "abyss of emotion") and before I knew it the poem was forming in my head. Went to flickr first before writing it down as the poem was still a lot of raw emotions swirling and I needed some visual anchors.
Rock, My Children deals with loss, disappointment, and looking to the future for understanding Life's Plan. When you ask the question, you receive the answer though it may take fifteen years like it did in my case.
Received an incredibly awesome comment from fellow spiritual blogger Robin from Naked in Eden after I sent her the link to show her how she had inspired me to write the poem. Just skip on past the poem to read what she has to say it's that great! I've been grinning silly all day - and behind in my posting - since she posted that loving comment...
Rock, My Children, go here.

It was so easy and delightful to respond to someone who is real, heartfelt and beautiful. You're writing and sense of values reflects someone very aware. You speak to the underdog, to those who have suffered often in silence and in the face of a judgmental society. You offer the world a HUGE gift. Larger than you may realize. I want to encourage you to always write fearlessly from your heart. You encourage this in me, just in being who you already are and speaking your truth.
Your soul shines so beautifully and with great wisdom.
Hugs,
Robin
Thanks, Robin, you really are a LOVE for taking the time to leave this awesome comment - accepted with gratitude for your wonderful support!
Your writing is so deeply spiritual and positively inspirational - and you know what - maybe we ought to figure out a way to pull together a huge group of like-minded writers and bloggers to raise awareness like they do over at Bloggers Unite. Hmmm... I feel a brain-storming season coming on... :) What do you think?
