I will pursue your commands, for you expand my understanding.
Is it not the
Expansiveness
Of winter
That makes
The Christ
Created
Heavenly sent
Splendor of
Spring’s glow
A fragrant
Delightful
Perfumed
Bouquet
Of grace
That brings
Hope,
Beauty,
And joy
To our souls
And to
Our senses.
Is it not the
Ebb and flow
Of trials
And blessings
Rain and sunshine
That expands
Our hearts.
Souls,
And Minds,
To lead us
To know
Our Triune God’s
Never-changing
Ceaseless,
Faithful beauty
Whether in the valley
Or whether on the
Victorious mountaintop?
What if the expansiveness
For the eternal kingdom
Of heart, soul, and mind
Only comes through
The raindrops
And the storms?
What if in the
Economy of
Our Beautiful Savior
Blessings are the test
And trials are the blessing?
What if God’s
Ceaseless love
And favor
Are not based
On earthly
Circumstantial
Blessings,
That no matter
What God sends
His ceaseless love
Is always blessing?
And can you
Not hear
Our Savior,
Man of sorrows
Acquainted
With grief
With his
Majestic
Royal voice
Of tender
Love and care
Speaking to
The His royal heir
“Child of Grace
Know this
Unless storms
Are sent
Not even
The eagle
Will soar
Higher or
Expand
Their wings
To see and understand
Earthly happenings from
The heavenly view.”

I believe Question mark missing on first sentence.
I am not sure what rhythm I should use during the reading if any.
Artistic poems can be hard to develop the best form and rhythm.
Next week's lesson on the writing forums of this site is on writing free verse; you might want to check it out for some ideas for adding to your poetic repertoire. It goes up on Monday morning.
I enjoyed reading this, and look forward to more of your poetry on this site.
