ABCs Moving In

ABC books have long been favourites--
Before I ever wrote ABC poems
Catching a structure that helps form my thoughts
Demanding more than just a few syllables
Excavating my memories
For gold . . . or coal
Going longer than Haiku or Cinquain
Homing in on the underpinnings
Inside
Just searching for You, Lord
Knowing You
Live inside
Makes my world secure
New excavations daily lead to new discoveries of You
Open my heart, open my eyes--open my mind
Personal
Quiet
Retreat from the chaos outside into the 
Security of You
Tangled emotions can rest
Under the reality of 
Vindication through repentance 
Wherever I am
eXtreme living water wells up
Yielding life everlasting--the
Zenith
