A Divine Miracle

A Divine Miracle


That day- I placed my father's crimson rose,

quite randomly, inside a book of prose-

God's intervention was my only guide.

What I had hoped- was joyous truth implied-

for words upon the page where that rose slept-

'in God’s eternal life- our souls are kept'.

"The Grave," by Robert Blair, bodes life anew-

Dear God- you let me know- he rests with you.

Darlene De Beaulieu Date: 5/7/2019 6:08:00 PM Hello Sandra,when a person passes the soul leaves the body, stays with us for a short time. Then makes the journey to god.

CayCay Jennings Date: 5/2/2019 1:39:00 AM I wrote for this contest. I wrote and I wrote and longer the poem grew in length and ridiculousness. I was unable to widdle down to profound poetic grits that would fulfill without failing to shut up! Thing is, the point I'm making is that you delivered a spiritual wham-bam with gentle landing truth-impact. You teach me. Not the 1st time. I love the volume in your divinely inspired succinct argument! All the best ... CayCay Login to Reply Sandra Haight Date: 5/4/2019 6:13:00 PM Yes, CayCay sometimes less is more. Fortunately for me, I had written a longer version of this and it took quite a while to refine it to just a few lines. I appreciate your lovely, supportive visit and comments so much. Hugs, Sandra
