1 Corinthians 10:26
Behold the blessings from above
that He bestowed with selfless love.
The fullness of the Lord on high,
within the shutter of your eye.
For all the beauty we perceive,
created so we might believe
that all these riches might apply
within the shutter of your eye.
The Earth is His abounding gift
with mercy strong and power swift,
so capture beauty and rely
within the shutter of your eye.
Behold the blessings from above,
within the shutter of your eye.

Your work with form and messages of faith are always exceptional. I particularly like
"For all the beauty we perceive,
created so we might believe".
Congratulations for silver!

Amera,
This is great. I love creation. I brings me closer to God. Your poem expresses my heart when I see his creation. Wonderful, beautiful words, my friend.

I am not a religious man so I shall comment solely on this as beautiful poetry. It uses the less common AabBccbBddbBAB form of the Kyrielle sonnet and uses it very well, the meter is delicate and accurate the rhyming superb and the whole effect is beautiful.

This is amazing! I had no idea that you wrote spiritual poetry. To take a verse from the bible and weave into a modern interpretation and do it in a old form is truly amazing.
