Thread: The Divine Idea

The Divine Idea

A gleam lived in our eyes.
Seamless, like honey,
colors spilled through timeless mist
to form the perfect word.
We lightened to live this gift of resplendent days.

“I remember,” we whisper “Beautiful.”

The baby held out his arms
to rock us in his infinite cradle.


I hope for us all to have a wonderful season filled with love and comfort

Hi Apple

I love gleam being seamless like honey and colours spilling through timeless mist. Beautifully described. It reminded me of a saying of my dad's about events that took place before I was conceived "when you were a twinkle in my eye" I have no idea if that is what you are referring to because I get lost in the rest of it but that's what I picture.

I remember this! And I still think it's just beautiful. That last line just nails it perfectly Sondra.

I enjoyed this piece very much, very nice imagery.

Thank you all so much. I appreciate your nice comments. I just wanted to write a little Christmas poem and share it. The spirit of the season is what counts, all faiths and beliefs.

In a sense, shadows, it is what I was talking about. The star, the twinkle, (in our Heavenly Fathers eye) offering the timeless gift and legacy of the baby Jesus.

Remember for all times, this poem. I'm making sure to bookmark for 2 reasons.

1. it's simple yet amazing.
2. this is a perfect piece to muse to and to look at whenever I need help on my own poems.

Nice poem! Fiiting for christmas. I like it the last two lines because they tie all the themes together.

I can relate to this, especially as my partner gave birth two weeks ago to a baby girl.

Much enjoyed this.

Love and a Merry Christmas,

Firebird

Absolutely beautiful, defying description in our paltry language. Those last two line are amongst the finest I've ever read. Merry Christmas, Sondra, and God bless you for writing this piece.
