Self, in its effect
could not have also caused ,
Nor the Northern winds have evolved these
in any length of time.

Excellent
It is very deep or can be seen to encompass a wide spectrum of dexterity and emotion. From the meaning of wells to the purpose of sight. I wish it were extended longer to speak of yet another moment, another level of grace and purpose. Thank you. -
A spiritual message here! And, so true! Press on, Girl! Love to ya!--Kel

I think the picture adds to the effect which you have created! I didn't know what to expect, but I see this is illustrative of how God uses his spirit to shed knowledge and understanding on us. The waterfall is a great example! A spiritual write with the gracious flowing through us. Wonderful piece!
Many blessings,
Raven Aurora

I like the clever way you link the 'global' idea of creation with the small and private world of your inner self. It is a clever expression of that link between the 'Big Father', 'Human Saviour' and 'Quiet Spirit'- a trinity that Christian poets often hard to explain.
The water symbolism (baptism, life-giver, the thing created before life in Genesis etc') felt very appropriate and not forced or heavy-handed.
As ever, a very skillful piece. I always know I can come here to find good quality poetry by someone who can express their personal beliefs in an honest but open way. Thanks for another well crafted piece.

Amazing anoited poem of comfort
Absolutly beautiful Di! Short, but packs a punch! A spiritual booster, needed I. My spirits run low as my plate oveflows. The battle seems to be the war of all times. I question my strength, yet I know it comes from the Lord. There's a place where mothers are vunlerable and can not hide. A dragger pierced through this heart of mine. i wonder Lord, will I make the mountain this time? I am weary, I want to rest, I need a place to retreat and hide. I clutch a piece of petrafied wood, 34" by 2 12" a reminder the world was destroyed by flood. I pray, I plead, i beg on my child's behalf. How cam I find your peace Lord in this pandora's box delivered to me? Read between the line Di. I really need a friend, who will not gossip. Our family is devastated and crushed already. My glue seems to be melting before my eyes.How can Satan attack so harshly? When I, never walk alone and always try to abide in the His will.....God Bless You Sweetie! I know yoour plate runs over, also. -
Cookie, This is beautiful...a lovely read of the Lord using you and your anointed love flowing through inspiration of His Spirit.
Love and hugs always,

good
good write to me it all went well toghter I enjoyed it but the picture sets it of don't get me wrong I like the picture it just need to be diferent -
Beautiful and interesting in its tender and heartfelt simplicity..
I also take much spiritual satisfaction for the wonder and beauty of nature..I must say the title initially painted a picture in my mind of..ermm..well it doesnt matter really..Let's just say "Mother Nature caught in a rather embarrasing state of undress"
"entering the souls of eyes
that read by sight or touch"
Love the imagery of the eyes having souls of their own that can read by touch as well as sight. Very ethereal and spiritual!
You'd be surprised however how much the physical features of our planet change over time. Change is neccessary for new opportunities for human, animal and geological evolution. Interesting point you have raised in this..!
Enjoyed!

I think I liked the commentary better. You actually start to fall into the trap of heavy cliche/overly sentimental ("winds of purpose") which is very common when writing about "nature" or "spirtuality". I actually quite enjoy the first part but the "winds of purpose" and the use of the word "souls" just rubbed me the wrong way and sent the poem in a direction I was hoping it wouldn't go.
-
Short and profound (not trying to sound cliche)...I think the picture might take away from the actual poem and keeps me from letting my mind wander but then a part of me thinks it adds to it too...so what do I know? nothing much.
I was really expecting something very sappy...way to play against the expected.
