Now Isn’t it the Case? 131 entries here. And more.

Doug Blair 1951 (London)

Free verse
Read Psalm 131.
One of the shortest.
There is weaning, waiting
Wanting only closeness
To the God of angel armies.
He has the Agenda
The aroma
The authority and Affirming.
The weaning has some tears
Through my years.
But Spirit food does me good.
Good.
As it should.
Ever my place and Person
Of Hope.
Buffet of blessing.
