In this compact, bustling city. I long to see the starry night. To escape this smoggy sight. Missing valley tulips so pretty. Instead of daily honking horns. Let's hear the bluebirds sing and fly. Instead of red lights flashing by. Let's run in green flat fields of corn. They say--A city full of dreams. A... Continue Reading →
Poem: Birds Sing A New Song
The birds sing a new tune When the seasons change From spring to June. How sweet the sound! The birds carol a new song As they wake up at dawn. Their voices so strong How powerful the sound! The birds chant a new melody When migration draws near They work together with fidelity. How synchronized... Continue Reading →

Poem: God, Are You Hiding From Us?

Poem: Made from Dust For Glory
I was created for you. Dreams that you already knew. Clay within the potters hand. You breathed into this dusty land. Man became a living soul. Flesh and bones finally whole. A garden full of delight. Perfect taste, touch, hear, smell, sight. Until the beguiling snake Tempted mankind to forsake The God of mercy and... Continue Reading →
Poem: Dear Embittered Soul
The embittered soul Cast it's shadow on The world stage at dawn Draining what was full. Emotions within Snatched away all hope. Lost power to cope Ushering in sin. Can the birds still sing? Will the sun still shine? Is everything fine? Soul, did you lose your wings? Forgive, and you will fly. Love, and... Continue Reading →
Poem: One Life To Live
One life to live. No bonds to break. The world is mad. For righteousness sake. One life to live. So form the peace. Unite the world. Violence must cease. One life to live. So build the love. Quench the scorpion. Be harmless as doves. © Chad Damitz, 2020
Poem: God Alone Endures Forever
Red rose petals wilt away. Blue moon silently grows old. Nebulous clouds fall asleep. But God remains, I am told. Mountains lose their youthfulness Ocean waves give up at shore. Lakes fatigue in summer droughts. But Jesus lives forevermore. Fierce lion roar fades in the wind. Human wisdom is snuffed out. Sun rays dim in... Continue Reading →
