Linking Hearts - reversed double etheree

Missing image

Walking with tulips, weaving wisdom's paths.
all wondering what creates wholeness

though distinct, different, unique
performing God's divine work
precious are we for Him
redeemed by the Lord
called to action
to walk here
linking
arms
hearts
one will
together
along the path
wisdom directs us
calls us to godly hope
prayer, devotion, holiness
united by His love, His blood
whole in Him, lacking nothing ever
We walk with tulips, we weave wisdom's paths.

Author notes

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God." ~ Romans 15:5-7 NIV


This is a double reversed etheree - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 syllable  for a total of 110 syllables.

    This is a beautiful, perfectly formed double etheree. It can be difficult to make them flow well, but you've wonderfully there as well. A certain hymn came to mind as I was reading your piece: "In the Garden". Thank you for sharing!

    I love this!!!

    Oh, I think this is gorgeous...and such a beautiful job done with the form as well. I like the image of a cup suggested both in the form and the tulip. With the spiritual import of the message, our "cup runneth over...lacking nothing ever."

    It's such an intricate write, with touches of artistry that amaze me.

    Just lovely healing light!

    You have wonderful alliteration in this poem! Your focus at "linking/arms/hearts/one will" reminds us that one may feel inadequate, but two cannot. Well done and congratulations for the trophies.

    Incredible! So beautiful, the wording, shape, focus. I like etheree, you can really say something powerful, it catches the eye, draws you in with its to the point, direct, no messing approach, in other words it packs a karate punch! AND YOU ARE THE MASTER!

    Peace Georgia

    Thoughtful picture. Not a form I am familiar with, but I greatly enjoyed the mirroring between the first two and last two lines. Lovely contemplation of unity.

    Interesting

    I had never heard of a double reverse etheree so you learn something new everytime you come here.
    At first I didn't understand one will...then I reread and got it and then it became my favorite...I thought one will like one will do or see...not one will as in one thought or purpose.
    Love the mirroring of the first line in the last line.
    Am sure it takes a lot of hard work to get this to work well.
    You did for sure accomplish it.
    Love the picture too.
    Well done.

    This is lovely.  Creative would be a bit of an understatement. You've crafted a wise and loving message in a very unique way. Absolutely stunning.

    Peaceful blessings,
