as we metamorphose

Line of inquiry: “being mistook we burnt the book thoughts rest, we dwell in our heart’s nest touched by spirit, our body shook by God’s light blest as we undressed” as we metamorphose light lingers all around the heavenly realm one thinks white is boring - is snow? and what of the brightest spirit, is she rainbow, all colors bequeathed at heaven’s behest? the pages and pages, bound, pulled from the un-dusty shelf the fire tests each moment not only by its result, but by its heart. all works in flames, but those in the palms of Christ create gold, silver, and bronze home is where we rest and dwell we thought we were home on earth that is the old earth and at our abode some couldn’t step out of their nest life had beat them up - figuratively, sometimes literally. home is where we rest our soiled clothes we left behind when we saw the new set, we realized we looked as if we’d been deep in mire quite covered by euphoria, no longer anxious, fearful, forgetful, forensic the glow eclipses that of fairy dust our feet forget themselves and walk on water, on air, on clouds, wherever for ever and ever. are lips can’t help but praise our Creator in paradise

Kim, this is so well done. I love the punctuation--it's doing its job of guiding the audience through how to emphasize and read the lines. And the turns of phrases are so thoughtful. "our soiled clothes we left behind when we saw the new set" is absolutely haunting in the best way. Congrats on your win :)

We go through many realms and stages old thoughts, new thoughts, we dance, we jive, we move we sprint, then move, slower and slower, and somehow inevitably we all meet on the right path to Gods HOME, which leads through heaven. Blessings, Jennifer.

Dear Kim, I love how it explores themes of spiritual growth and transformation. The imagery is stunning, and the language is so rich and evocative. The line "our feet forget themselves and walk on water, on air, on clouds" gives me chills! It's like you're capturing the essence of faith and devotion in words. A brilliant write! Best, Anne

Kim, your poetry rises softly in thankfulness before settling sweetly into the mind. Your sharing of the vision of home and optimism is both emotional and reflective.
