I Saw God But Now What Poetry Contest 

4.14.24

God Judging Adam—William Blake

 

Yes, I affirm, I have seen God But He appeared and then disappeared This knowing that transcends mind, left me awed But until what’s imbibed is assimilated, by fears I’m seared—Unseeking Seeker Espied my footprints in desert sands, longing to encounter Him in the Holy lands Vision Cinematic once upon a time suspended from Homers stauros—a sign? Hither poet ere Christ what visions may he have come across, perchance mine? Ever adorning this landscape eternal, reborn and risen to us in the season vernal Cedar beam deeply implanted into arid barren beach no protectorate of Rome Crimson robe flows about His loins as I peer down from up on high Shalom Seashore I’ve known since childhood’s joy so rare hence my vision surfaced there Vision Cinematic once upon a time, from above the clouds I glimpsed a slaying Azure sky morphs bright sea breeze upon His bleached dry raven locks swaying Perhaps the Holy Land now rendered elusive I shall grasp my vision conclusive In conclusion equate a temporary optimistic life, possibility is where I dwell in For fear of the Old barbate God, His hell is patient, awaiting, we who know sin The Almighty all-knowing sees all, whilst on His thrown, Lily White glowing thru Tell me, is the God of Old Testament different from the God of the New? Heaven's sake, why go in reverse, for this a mythic trap, a route traverse Wrestling with their own faith, they’re serving The Book of Skaith Erosion of civil liberties, fueling genocide and weakening sovereignties Dear Lord, if this is what art thou to those on the face of thy side? Let it be I won’t reside, search then I will, new platforms where I may hide A vision once upon a time, Cinematic of what images were to me familiar But now the path is clearer, love’s the only answer in a world abound with failure

What a unique and out of the box use of language yo carry the innermost sentiments.even the title is collaborating the subject so well. A felt composition. The last line is a realistic crux But now the path is clearer, love’s the only answer in a world abound with failure

A very deeply moving take this is dear anaya, i say this always and ill say it again and again, the way you weave words and phrase your thoughts is so profound and unique and captivating! I also love how in the notes youv said salaam in various languages? I think. Very clever, and thoughtful! An epiphany youv delivered for the prompt theme in the most seamless manner, i love the ending the most! Best wishes for the contest and keep sharing light always! You are a very kind soul!

I just finished it! It was too late for US's contest. I love my poem! The newest image is more what I saw in my dream/vision, I was deep in soul-search at the time, very alone inside, an excruciating void. I ponder what it means, watching Him from above looking down, (in the way I was positioned when I awoke) I was in the clouds, strange what is this interpretation? I resided close by the beach at the time. Empress, my poetess friend.

Inspired not only by recent events, but a vision/dream. Such atrocities of war and events in the middle east, yes, both languages of the Mideast! I realize that for many this is a sensitive issue and especially for those who have had to suffer such horrendous events. Prayers for Peace, Thank you, Empress! I appreciate your thoughts and support. Warmest wishes

Fine way to interpret this challenge. It was way too difficult for me to even try.

Very interesting interpretation of the theme Anaya, reminiscent somewhat of my Haibun - Golgotha, yet unique. The "holy land" feels less holy these days. Sigh
