+ 27.225 MHz: Poem For When Feeling Alone

God has promised never to abandon me.

His created Cosmos surrounds my life inclusively.

He inspires my soul to declare this in poetry:

that even when bereft of human---social---company,

my faith need not relinquish its contented stability.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The inspiration for this poem began with a reading of Li Bai's poem, "Dú Zuò Jìngtíngshān," in the translation by Red Pine, entitled, "Sitting Alone On Jingting Mountain."  After reading the Red Pine's translation, I was reminded of Hebrews 13:5---and the poem began to emerge, almost entirely intact.
