to linger in heaven's harvest

This is a beautiful rictameter. I do so love the beatitudes. You should consider doing a rictameter chain for each of the 8 beatitudes...... just an idea.
Love and hugs

Technical beauty
I enjoyed reading this piece several times. I am quite a fan of shape poetry and liked the technique you have placed upon this entry. Its something I would like to give a go. My favourite part..."love restores sinner to grace/ mercy's incense rises enticing souls/ to linger in heaven's harvest". I can tell you worked diligently for this entry. All the best, Freed By Mercy.
