A very good spiritual poem. I liked your message. This write really cuts deep, and I appreciate your scriptural references. Good descriptive imagery and visuals. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I enjoyed reading your poem. It would be something if everyone could see God every morning in the mirror and be able to take a good look at oneself as God sees us. We might not like what we see and have a chance to change. Great job!

Next to the Psalms, Jeremiah is my favorite book of the Bible, God reminds us he knows us and we will eventually find him. I read your words as a spiritual journey, one that God reminds you, will end in peace. Excellent use of words and poetic flow that teaches the reader.

I like how you describe the tension and worry easing away.
'He who created both the reflection and the reflected.' That's good writing.

Comment from lyenochka
Thank you for this lovely poem, Darren! (I couldn't review the previous ones that you repromoted because I had already reviewed them.
I love how you interwove Scripture in this and reminded us of God's promises which give us the power to resist the temptation of the evil one. That's something that the Lord asks us to pray - to pray for protection from temptation just like He taught us in the Lord's Prayer and how He advised Peter.
Also, I really enjoyed reading your book and learning more about you as poet and writer, musician and cook! I'll write a review on Amazon soon.
"His faire looked incredible," (fare) if you mean food here.

Comment from Liz O'Neill
As you know, I love alliteration. You have given me such a treat as I love reading this aloud. Early on, the d's set the tone. The s's sound; peaceful silence and other times effect a sort of hissing in disgust. Your juxtaposition will have the reader turning their head one way then the next. Excellent work. I have to give A+

Comment from Anita Manuel
Darren, I enjoyed this poem so much. I love the picture that you used. I kept looking at it until I could see what it was saying about your poem. In the photo, God is depicted as clothed (mysterious) and the man is naked (transparent). This and your poem symbolized that God is greatly aware of us and we are not hidden from Him by our outer appearance of calm. When Satan is tempting us, He knows and comes to our rescue.
What I loved the most was how you depicted our Lord as being in a relationship with us and not religiously putting us down for being tempted by almost irresistible temptations. Because we are in a relationship with Him, a touch from Him and a word make everything alright--sweet, silent certainty abounds. The intimacy you share with Him is felt and it is deep.
Thank you for the Scriptural references so that the reader can take responsibility for knowing where you found your inspiration and he/she can follow you there for further understanding. The Bible is full of love letters that are meant to highlight His great and passionate love for us. Yes, He corrects us when we need it, but it is always about love.
I have just a few suggestions to help with the flow of the power of your poetry. Perhaps, you could bring the enemy and his dastardly ways in first. Where you positioned him throws the rhythm off and interrupts the flow. Maybe, if you bring the power of God in afterwards, the intervention aspect of your poem will be more powerful. Showing the temptation first lends credence to why the Lord saw that you needed that touch and that word.
Also, it seems that you ended the poem somewhat abruptly. It felt as if I was left hanging. Maybe something like this you could consider:
But God touched me today
And in His mighty, powerful way
Satan's power was broken...
Praise be to God forever, always
Overall, the content is powerful and I wouldn't change it. I would only change the flow of it. I have a feeling your ears are finely tuned to His rhythm, so I would say to you, when you write, listen for His rhythm and the flow will come naturally and powerfully. I would not be surprised to find out that some of your readers are finding deliverance and comfort through your poems!
Keep up the awesome work, young man!!!

Comment from Colin John
He Badger, I am very impressed by your ability to write these religious poems, I disagree with all of it and it has not touched me. Like you I marveled at the pictures in the Bible when I went to Sunday school,the stories were fantastic but were spoiled by the God thing. When they tried to give my heart to God, that was it, I was off and have lived happily ever after.This poem does ryhmn beautifully and thank you for sharing, kind regards Colin
