A Pure and Simple Faith

by Ruth Y. Nott

Those reading "A Pure and Simple Faith" will learn that... Poetry is a way of life and life an ever changing, never ending poem. A poet cannot help but take his pen in hand and record life s joys and sorrows, while life continues on, blissfully unaware of the need for metrical pattern or imagery, yet creating it on a day to day basis whether in limerick, elegy or sonnet. It is all there for the taking. Poetry is a dance with God, close and intimate, or jitterbugging across Eden s fertile valley. Poetry is the wonder and awe of one minute bit of dust in an infinite universe trying to understand it all. Poetry is, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder. "A Pure and Simple Faith" reflects the author s continuing love of God in a world filled with temptation, disappointment, and heartache. .
