Have you ever looked to heaven?
Have you ever seen God?
Did he smile down on you?
Have you seen The Spirit?
What did she tell you?
Did you speak to The Son?
Was he kind to you?
This is my home-
This is where I live,
If you look at us from down there,
You can see our golden wings,
You can hear us sing,
You can touch the harmony
In the strings of our harps,
You can taste our freedom.
Have you ever seen my home
When the cotton clouds close over
And the window to heaven is closed?
Have you ever looked up into the storm?
Have you ever heard the voices
So well hidden in the crashing thunder?
Have you ever felt the teardrops on your face
And have you caught the rain?
Have you ever seen my home?

good as always
"Have you ever felt the teardrops on your face
And have you caught the rain?"
The sky is weeping indeed. I liked this one even though I thought you had gone crazy at first. Seems a little contradictory to me at the end. If angels were truly free they would have no need for tears. But thats my view and not neccessarily true. Anyways I liked it. -
Wow, this is beautiful. So pretty, I really like this one.
Thanks for a good read.

This one really provokes a thought...a spiritual beautiful one at that...thanks for sharing, it was worth reading

Hmmm this reminds me of Henry Ripplinger's book, If You're Not From the Prairie. Just the quaint phrasing was reminiscient. Very nice. The colloquial language speaks far more than high-level would. Great write.

Beautiful poem. I enjoyed it a lot. Well written keep it up.

Pretty. I think I have seen it, actually. Well, maybe...
-
a lovely poem and original way of looking at things

Well, the only thing the Bible would refute is referring to the Holy Spirit as "she." The population of heaven are genderless, just as we will be in the new earth. Nevertheless, I'm not here to debate, rather to praise a poet for a stunningly beautiful write. I so look forward to my mansion in the sky! I was ready yesterday, so any day and any hour is fine with me. Well done, poet! ~~BonnieQ
