A very well-written encouraging poem about a walk in nature that make us realize that is what we need more in our lives just to be apart of God's creation is uplifting and warm the soul.

I like your poem and the belief behind it.
I especially like:
"a thousand scientific explanations
will not warm my soul... "
Science has its place but not in the realm of faith.
Good job.
p.s. It would be good if you made your typeface a fair amount bigger. I've been told by a few folks that judges like big, very-readable type in the entries.

    Thank you Cynthia. I am delighted for your response to my faith poem. I changed the typeface to size 16. If you mind to check it again before i make it bigger...Thank you.

    I will, by all means.

    I think you can go another jump in size, maybe two.
    I've never heard a complaint about too big type. But your photo is delicate so I wouldn't go more than two sizes bigger or it wont't match the photo. (I used to be a graphic designer. :)

I love the strong feeling of self belief of faith in your poem. You set the scene well with the road and the weather, then - just for you, and you KNOW it - 'a sublime and warm embrace' comes your way so specially. 'I believe what I feel' is the strongest belief to have.

Well written reflections on a morning's walk. Every time I take one, I tell myself, "I should do this more often!" I'm sure my dog agrees. I certainly agree on the value of the "scientific explanations". They get into the "too much information" area. Good luck in the contest.

A moment in time ' a stroll on the gray road ' shared poetically with the reader with a sense of appreciation for the experience 'a sliver of light lit my way'- loved it !

Right on. Write on. One of those profound pieces found in the simplistic clarity of just knowing what is. Truth. Lookn no further than feeling His perfect blueprint. Inspiring. Elegant. As swift as an eagles directive.

The appearance of a heavenly light amid the grey is magical and whatever the explanation for it, we welcome it although in this case it is making no difference to the way you feel here, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

In the lovely, moving lines of this concise poem, you have conveyed a powerful message about those moments and events when we feel the presence of the Lord. Science can't explain away what we KNOW.

This was a interesting write. We should always try to lift one another up, and poetry has that power.
The only suggestion that I would have is where you have
'and a sublime and warm embrace' for it to read 'with a sublime and warm embrace' just a thought I think it reads much better. Thank you for sharing this one. God bless
