Raging River Intellect
by L Cruz III2007
I pray you will discover meaning within this poem. It represents a moment of enlightenment I experienced while in the throws of intellectual despair. I hope this piece will help you, as it helps me.
I dedicate this poem to St. Augustine, St. Aquinas, CS Lewis, Dr. Ravi Zacharias and his team, every person who can create artistic things and everyone who can appreciate beauty of any kinds.

Raging River Intellect: My Letter to God
By L Cruz III (© 2007)

Your puzzling lures and dizzying ways,
Inspired my eyes to see your face.
But, You blinded me with mortal craves
For a raging River Intellect!
Your puzzling lures and dizzying ways
Lit my urge to hear ablaze,
But, You changed me to a deafened slave
Of a raging River Intellect!
You enticed me to philosophize;
To learn the printed maze,
To share with men the whats and whys...
...Illuminate our ways.
You taught me that to think is good;
‘Cause truth distorts through fallen eyes.
I shared this news, just as I should;
You started this! We both agree!
Why then won't You let me see
The Splendor of Your eyes?
My wasted senses.
Nothing saw.
My broken reason;
Worthless straw.
If I don't calm this logic down,
This painted me, a humbled clown,
I do so fear that I will drown,
In this raging River Intellect.
So, I turn a dial ‘till music plays.
A piano piece with calming ways,
Its gushing truth fills me with peace.
How glorified this sweet release.
(then) A lump of shock forms in my throat...
NO "MEANING" LIVES IN ANY NOTE!
So, I close my eyes,
And to my surprise
I hear
The
Sweetest
Fragrance
Of Your mighty glow against my
Watching
Touch.
Such sweet mystery to my senses!
You were with me all along.
My strengthened reason proves this true.
A song is nothing but a sign
That points beyond itself to You.
Though intellect can show You're real,
Only You can prove it.
But even proof won't budge a heart
‘Till faith and reason move it.
May You baptize us all
In the raging River Intellect!
Amen!
