I Saw God But Now What Poetry Contest

God Judging Adam—William Blake

 

A Cinematic Vision-I Saw God But Now What

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

Silpika Kalita April 23, 2024 at 2:15 AM 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 I Am Anaya May 7, 2024 at 8:28 PM Thank you for reading, Silpika, you mean a lot to me, your impressions so real.

Ink Empress April 16, 2024 at 8:39 AM 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 Am Anaya April 16, 2024 at 2:47 PM 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. Ink Empress April 16, 2024 at 12:54 PM Its a very scary situation. I know, prayers would do sweet anaya I Am Anaya April 16, 2024 at 9:18 AM 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

Victor Buhagiar April 15, 2024 at 2:07 AM Superb poem Anaya. With a spiritual background, you expressed yourself in a wonderful way. Best for a win. I Am Anaya April 15, 2024 at 9:13 AM Thank you, Victor! Based on a true story, well vision! I'm dedicating prayers for Peace in the Middle East.

Andrea Dietrich April 14, 2024 at 7:14 PM Fine way to interpret this challenge. It was way too difficult for me to even try. I Am Anaya April 14, 2024 at 7:20 PM I applied what I have been wanting to write about, hope it's a fit!
