This is one of your best, Roy, it's amazing. I love the words where you've used the proud eagle flying high above the valley floor, closer to Heaven's door. All these lines are incredible, and I wish you luck with it in the contest. Love and hugs, my friend. :) Sandra xxx

Wow. Awesome and powerful piece of poetry, my friend. Very uplifting and inspiring. Few poems on here do that anymore. This is a winner in my book, Roy. Great pic as well. Going to cast my vote right now. Best of luck to you, friend.

Even on our darkest day, we need not fear nor feel abandoned. Prayers can sustain us as we hold onto His guiding hand to lead us our of the darkness into his wonderful light. A most uplifting piece.

This is wonderful. Beautiful flow and AABB rhyme. The comparison to the eagle is great. The eagle soars and has no fear as he hears the thunder. Your words are so comforting in this, as "God will never let you wander lost." God will be with you, so fears can be eased. judi

Fabulous first verse Roy.
(I know that description dates me but its what came to mind). I love the intertwining of the storms the birds flying into the storm as a metaphor for all who struggle to see the calm skies. Loved this one. Well done mate.
Cheers
Valda

This is a fine poem. The words that appealto me particularly are:
As shadows tease the mind, don't fear, your faith will grant you sight.
They will keep the night-fears at bay. Thanks for sharing. Blessings Kate xx

Another marvelous display of your talent. From the very first line's "seething dust" until the end, the poem has amazing word choices and combinations that are filled with imagery, mood and movement. I've not reviewed your extensive portfolio but I think I also would enjoy reading a work by you where the topic is completely secular, perhaps even humorous. Do you have such works that you can point me to? If not, try it. I think you'd succeed with near any topic.

Another excellent poem. Once again, my faith may not be as clearly defined as yours, for the moment. Yet, the inspiration it gives you and the reverence for your faith, is clearly displayed here, as always. Hopefully, others will read the words you so thoughtfully chose, regardless of their belief. Another excellent work! Thanks for sharing!!

I love your use of language in this poem. The way in which you use words to convey descriptions is rather unmatched. Completely deserving of all 6 stars. Excellent!
