A Quest Touched By Heaven

A QUEST TOUCHED BY HEAVEN Treading towards an immortal search a mortal soul stood begins the quest. Crossing deep sea and burning desert sand down the wild and civilized land, soul driven by zest will so grand. Right and left battle: a door to growth and anguish Life still wriggles for habitable breath hiss Shuddering fears may impregnate decline staggering, falling, hurting but LIVING! Teardrops shed a lance or rose to the heart. Prayers a rumble to steps roaring zeal rave gaits thud though imperfect Your lit of melodious merciful grace presages treasure drafts of redemption. Breakages had caused falls bending spirits yet, these also caused cries of feverish hopes frightened but with Your heavenly touch Am a mortal but siren-like singing hymns of salvation. In the ocean expanse of gloomy sky, my heart -a white pigeon craving to fly high. I strive to reach outstretch stars Sprouting lovelier even when rain arrives. Singing my lifesong with side-sways, enjoying God's gift of life today. (c)Olive Eloisa 1:41pm September 18, 2014 Inspired by: Psalm 147:11 the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love Sponsor Justin Bordner Contest Name Divine Intervention 2nd place.. :) to God be the glory..

I' too, would like to congratulate you on your well deserved win. God's gifts are new to us each day. Sometimes they are hidden and we have to search for them, while others are lost and rewrapped for someone else to discover. (That's just my belief.) Thanks for visiting my poem about the lucky fish with a wish, Darlene

I love that first stanza Olive, the juxtaposition of immortality and mortality, odyssey through all terrain. Exceptional vocabulary and metaphor too!!! " Sprouting lovlier even when rain arrives..." True that! An indomitable perseverance through the grace of Providence, magic Faith Girl! A Masterpiece, and FAV. J.A.B.
