really liked it

These poems are so layered and nuanced, many flew past me upon first reading. These are best nibbled on daily while consulting the notes. There's no doubt the author had a first rate mind and a deep passion for Christ. One that I keep coming back to is "The Storm," particularly these lines: "A throbbing conscious spurred by remorse Hath a strange force:
It quits the earth, and mounting more and more,
dares to assault thee, and besiege thy door."
