Dreaming White Wedding Gowns

I'm just a girl inside,
the one who dreamed
of white wedding gowns
and forever:
something I wanted to exist.

But I'm hanging on waiting
and thinking, if really it's real:
or if all this is some matrix
and I'm just dreaming of
what I wish to be.

The answer seems complex
but is quite simple,
the girl in me must leave
her ways behind, and reach
unto the Star that shines.

I must stand in faith,
and know, eternity is mine:
wearing the gown is in the wink
of and eye, and the fracturing of time
will play out that glorious day:


When Christ calls home His brides
to stay.

    Honestly I'm not a Christian and I loved it. Not just out of respect for your religion, it just shows the faith in the imagery hit me. More over I like how it is the little girl that dreams of being a bride yet it is the strong women in faith who as you said, "When Christ calls home His brides"

        Your quite welcome, Poetry after all is the window to our soul that we leave for the public to see. Being a fellow writer I share the emotions I get from reading other poetry.

    Blessed are the words you speak while showing the love for the one and only that we so confidently await for.I can't be a bride but I understand the true meaning of what is written in the poem and I am sure the will definitely bless you for spreading his seeds of love...

    Excellent!!!

    Oops, darling Sister! check out stanza 3, line 4: and/an

    As usual, however, you have weaved another masterful poem that beautifully sets out the dreams all we women have had in our youth; yet, somehow, reality stormed in with all of its disallusionment. Ah, but the real reality is our Lord returning to claim His brides! Praise the Lord, and I know you do.

    This is a winner, dear one! By the way, I actually posted a poem a week or so ago: "Temporarily Black and Blue." See what you think.

    Much love and hugs, SisBon

    Wow! I really like this. This reference to christ as the bridegroom is quite astute. The seeming sadness at always being a bridesmaid and never a bride is transformed into joy at the coming for which so many await. Excellent.

    What a glorious day that will be Sis! Can you imagine - all of us in one accord - united - basking in the love of our One and Only? It is a blessed faith that we have to hang onto.

    It is good to read your wonderful poetry! I pray all is well.

    Love and hugs,

    Joanne

      Thank you Sis. When I started to write this, I was not sure where it was going so.. I just followed. ( another lesson learned..lol ) It is good to be writing. I am well. My daughter and kids are with me so it is nuts here.. ( they are 2,4,and 8 ) Time is an issue but I have to write or I will go crazy. I've missed you. Love and hugs, Debby
