+ 9TH POEMS: Reply To The Poet, Fyodor Tyutchev [Reposed July, 1873]

I agree with you, Brother Fyodor, the place where my soul is most complete

is, in accordance to our Elder Sister Mary's choice, clinging to Jesus' feet;

this place of blessing where we may release only exultant tears---

receving His promised eternal salvation, His perfect Love that casts out all fears.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The last line alludes to Galatians 2:20 and 1 John 4:18.

  A beautiful devotional

 

A beautiful devotional response, 

It is moving how you weave Tyutchev’s contemplative spirit

into a deeply personal affirmation of faith.

The image of resting at Christ’s feet,

paired with the scriptural echoes of Galatians and 1 John,

gives the poem both intimacy and timelessness.

It reads like a prayer as much as a poem.
