Poetry In Being
The Homepage, Poetry & Artwork of Steven R. McEvoy
This is my homepage but most of my web presence is on my blog, Book Reviews and More. It is a collection of my published and unpublished writing, mostly book reviews, with a few articles and reflection's. If you want to poke around here the key sections are Poetry, Artwork, and Lists.
I have written poetry for as long as I can remember. And I try and read a book or 2 of poetry each year.

Poetry In Being
i am holding on
Sometime by the thinnest thread
Sometimes upheld in prayers and love
i am loved
and trying to accept that love
And to love in return
i am a child of God’s
precious, dearly loved,
but always challenged to climb above
i am a man
once a boy, with dreams aplenty
now learning to dream again
i am a celt
with a warrior’s passion, a poet’s heart
wisdom, knowledge and discernment do I seek, to temper them
i am a soldier
called to serve the King of Kings
called to fight upon my knees
i am creative
with the Spirit of God within me
a poet’s pen, an artists brush and the cooks pots
i am a dreamer
and the dream,
hope, pray, care, plan, love
i am who i am
i am who God is shaping me to be
clay to the potter, i surrender all to thee
i am the words
that i speak, and the silences that i keep
of praise and prayers, anguish and tears
i am
