Religious and spiritual poem about which aspiring poet Peter Menkin writes: "Today, Friday, I visited a woman in the health care unit of a retirement home. She asked me for a word, and I gave her these. I am thinking about them today: "For God alone my soul in silence waits;/from him comes my salvation..." (Psalm 62, BCP). The poem I post today is a personal statement about Christ and I hope has meaning for you as a believer, or if not a believer, gives you insight into the Psalm quotation noted above. It is here without changes after being posted on Frugal Poets writer's workshop. It received some nice remarks." The poem is read here by the aspiring poet is one of his earlier works; he's been writing poetry since 2000. A work of praise, so comments Australian poet Janet Kenny on The Atlantic Monthly Writers Workshop of his poems, this one read here by the poet talks of Christ. It ends with these words: My heart is enlarged, it grows With the humility of recognition Of your enveloping charity For mankind. An Oblate of New Camaldoli Hermitage, Big Sur, California this poem by Peter Menkin is simple, with one or two word lines and appears on "Peter Menkin blog" and also directly expresses thanks.
