Beauties By the Babbling Brook and God's Angels Haiku

BEAUTIES BY THE BABBLING BROOK They sat on the boulders by the babbling brook basking in God's brightness, their bronze curly locks bouncing as they giggled. Their beauty was perfect in every way, including the big beautiful bold eye that graced each of them centered in their foreheads. They were giggling at me because I balked at each questioning my own sight; could it be, I asked myself, God made them one-eyed? Their laughter mingled with the songs of the brook as I marveled at their beauty, even though embarrassed for having gawked at them so. What could I say as I walked away? (From a dream: Mar. 1, 2008) [It should be noted that on the front page of The Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Russian Newspaper, it was reported on 2/22/2005, that a baby girl was born with one blue eye centered in her forehead. She died right after birth, only having taken one breath. I researched this, because I could not believe what I saw in this dream; also I worried that it would discredit my vision of Heaven. I hope to see these beauties again in Heaven when I get there. I'll want to be their friend and get to know them better.] “...there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” REV 21:4 GOD'S ANGELS HAIKU They are all over fluttering up, down, here, there, bringing messages. “'He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.'” REV 3:5 These poems are the last 2 poems in my IN HEAVEN book, which is 165 pages long, and for which I'm seeking a publisher.
