Dip The Oars In Stars

The celestial royal purple lake of my wandering soul's freedom, in a luminous rowboat of dreams, as the filled moon's fairest face reflects the sun's benevolence. As I dip the oars in stars, slowly rowing, pondering, on to where God wants me, to commune with His messenger angels, as I dip the oars in stars. A covenant with Him, to pray for humanity- as it roils on the earth, and a healing of earth's nature, O God I weep, fleeting are the universe's hours of passage, yet, prayers for hope's continuing, for peace, as I dip the oars in stars. ~

Hi Regina, You have composed a deeply personal piece immersed in celestial imagery. Dip The Oars In Stars is a stunningly innovative title that is also imaginatively incorporated into this work. At every level a jewel laden narrative Howard

I enjoyed reading your lovely write. We weep but I also think God must weep with what goes on. Have a blessed/great day writing away...............

A FAV for your poem of prayer for our world in chaos. Love is the answer we are all looking for. "I dip the oars in stars", is a lovely and creative phrase, Regina, and "celestial royal purple lake" a beauty vision in my imagination. I could see myself rowing on such a lake, at peace with my God, and praying for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Smiles ~ Blessings, my sweet friend. Bill

A Fav, dear Regina,chock full of images that carries your passion , intertwined with faith.Love your last lne …about dipping your oars in the stars. Theres nothing to weep about. You can see man getting more vicious by the year. And God never said there would be peace on earth, so theres nothing to cry about. We can stop electing idiots. And try to control the human race. Not be mini gods, controlling the climate. That’s the faith of the far left.! Pangie xx People march to murder the unborn! Read the Apocalypse in the NT. Only God can save the world, not us…Pangie xx there never was peace on earth!
