What does this mean?
Splendor....
Can you describe this splendor to me?
I am on a spiritual quest to understand,
the meaning of SPLENDOR!
here is the link to study the physical presence of the
word;
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/splendor
Here is a scripture that brought me to tears;
Says the Almighty Creator;
My,
Compassion,
is for you.
Though the soul be shaken,
and spirit too weary to listen.
When the lips cannot find
The courage to speak.
“I REMAIN UNFAILING,”
In my love for you.
“I AM NOT SHAKEN,”
Nor my Covenant of Promises
Given to you.
“I AM NOT REMOVED.”
says the Almighty Creator,
my compassion is for you.
I endow you…
With “Splendor.”
These are troubled times in America,
and we've all had a few bumps in our roads.
I DO NOT WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN TO ME THE MEANING OF THIS VERSE,
I WANT YOU TO DESCRIBE FOR ME:
THE SPLENDOR OUR CREATOR SEE'S IN
YOU...or EACH OTHER...This WORLD.
Let's try and keep it under 100 lines,
unless of course you're splendor really let's loose!
VIVIDLY...IMAGERY...PERSONALLY...INTIMATELY..
but no EROTIC THIS TIME!
I Challenge you to unleash your spiritual voice
and beauty? is it mere beauty?
All poetic forms are welcome and treasured, including
dirty pretty.
