Benign Bliss Burn

“In-form polarities merge in the heart *  One that became two becomes one again
Breath by breath feeling bliss ignition start* God’s grace in-pours as we dance in the rain”

Shaped and spooned you leaned into my heart 
and from the very start you fit me like a glove ! 
We both imagined that we'd never part 
but that was not to be, ... where are you love ?

Breath by breath we moved as one  
you were the apple of my eye 
I was your moon and morning sun!
but death took you away, where are you love?

Draped in sorrow dismantled by my tears 
you left me suddenly, I nearly went insane  
God's grace in-poured, as I danced in the rain  
I asked God, ... where is my love ? 

As Divinity bowed, heaven spilled another tear   
it was then I knew, surely you must be near!

Death can't take the love away, but only the person. The mystic revelation from above made you convince that he is not far but near. Beautifully written. Congratulations on your great win, dear Rose.

Your welcome dear Sara, as we get older we see our loved ones go and its very sad, but also comforting to know one day we will be together again :)

Very beautiful. Love is an eternal attachment. Divinely stated. Sorry is deep, penetrating...I truly feel, somehow, some way, God will heal our hearts, unite love ones again to make all things right.

He always heals us, I went to church this morning and father marc said I quote " Lord, guide me as if I were the apple of your eye and the shadow of your wing" what a lovely thought

Poem is a moving spiritual elegy, where human sorrow finds healing through divine grace. Its imagery of rain, tears, and celestial nearness gives it both tenderness and transcendence — a poetic meditation on the eternal bond between love and spirit.
