From A Place Named ' There'

Missing image
Is that your smile painting the
moon
from a space named
there?

a silken pool of Love
tendrils
pouring over me on
this place called
here

do gloat as you  have
until
the final star spills

the truth about
your adoring celestial
plan called…

us.

  • There is a lot of originality in this. I liked "a space named there" and "do gloat as you have/until/the final star spills." Good write.

  • Great

    Powerful fantastic love. I adore it. My favorite part was; "the truth about your adoring celestial plan called us." Very well, a crimson achievement.

    I'm thinking that this is far more profound than the photo was intended. The photo is a study in light and shadow. You poem is a message of peace. Nicely written.

    .......

    Hoodwink (lol I dont know what it means but almost everyone else put it, so I too will).... uh.. I hope its not something bad

    I love this photo. It reminds me of God coming from heaven to earth.. or even that He is in both places.. even if we dont see Him.

    You have written words that could inspire anyone. I love the journey from there to here to us.

    Beautiful indeed.

    (Hoodwinked!)

    I couldn't even think of an idea for that prompt. You went much farther than the picture to see it in a different way!

    Well done!

    I know. . . it's been some time since I've been on the site; so, it is with great pleasure that I've read this poem by you, Cookie. Indeed, the celestial plan called "us." Perhaps, God should have said "His," then maybe the world would not have become so selfish; or, possibly "Ours." Who knows.

    Extremely well done, as usual.

    Much love in Christ, BonnieQ

    Thanks so much for your entry!

    This is a lovely interpretation of the photo.

    It brings me hope and a "smile" as I think of God looking down and knowing "the truth about your adoring celestial plan called…us."

    Thanks again....
