I Am The Vessel
I am the ship bearing
a sea-weary traveler.
I am the cup offering
water to a parched visitor.
I am the door opening
to welcome a total stranger.
I am the window allowing
an unclouded view of nature.
I am the vessel receiving
all that God has to offer.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Three Dark Horses)
"I am the darkness which brings the light!"
My Spiritual Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "I am the vessel receiving all that God has to offer."
And this poem was also published on my "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blogs (please see the hyperlinks below for the blogs), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Small All White in the Forest" and "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
However, I may be remembering that incorrectly, because this poem may have been written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
