I finally made it to the Writer's Nest last night. It had been a while. It was a small gathering, only half a dozen ladies, but it was nice to spend most of the evening chatting, catching up and sharing things other than our writing. The topic was gratitude seeing as it was Thanksgiving this month.
It's a treat to be able to meld the two social events in my life: the Bible study group and this one. In the study group, we are learning about Heaven. It inspired me to write this poem I shared last night:
Heaven
Swirling upwards,
The singing columns caress the roof
of Eternity.
Their fragrance fills the senses:
A burst of purple on the tongue
With hints
Of cinnamon music that sparkles
Before the eyes.
Angels
Laugh the dancing, divine light:
The Song of Songs,
The Joy of Joys.
"Oh Holy of Holies,
Blessed be Your name!"
Between the prism hues,
Bereft of shadows,
Chant a sweet smelling blanket:
Lavender mauve,
Autumn leaves' honey amber
And gold,
So clean and pure.
So sweet.
Living turquoise,
And incense green,
Sky-water blues
Breathe
A sigh in harmony.
The Lord of Lords,
The King of Kings,
The Presence Beyond Presence,
More beautiful than life,
Tenderly
Wraps the soul
In promised peace fulfilled.
"And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new."" Rev 21:4-5
The Black River is a journey in faith. It delves into an exploration of life: from the calm, clear waters of the good days, the mundane, to the swirling eddies and deep waters of issues that face every one of us.
