Offering of Words


Sacred flame anchored in verity

Rooted in grace step by step consumes

Tainted by shadow - interiority 

 

Asthenic, afflicted inner sanctum 

Pleading for life, imploring mercy

Begging for grace of smallness

The center that does not boast

The silent virtue and

The servant's crown 

 

False and new waging war

Can't fully comfort omniscient Eyes

Until all unholy by touch of torch -

Dies - interior drama - dies 

 

Ever onward looking at most radiant Light

In perpetuity treasuring all-holy Might

With ancient patience advancing in merit 

Bowing down, in simple ministration

Retaining rich soil, sun-anointed fructification

Invigorated by celestial splendor to see

Bread of Life brings forth timeless glee

Asking for essence of sanctity on bent knee

Neither knowing evergreen triumph nor rest

Till tested and found at His arm as a rock-solid guest.

Love this very powerful and touching poem filled with strong emotions. Humbly surrendering to the loving power of God is indeed the beginning of the greatest miracle. The joy lies in the struggle between the old and the new person, and the true victory is won when all what mortal dies! Dr. Kardas, it is amazing how many helpful insights you pack into each of your unique creations! We love to read and reread your works until they sink into the depths of our souls. You use beautifully God's given talents. Sending our love and best wishes to you and your sister Carolyn.
