Notes About The Poem

Author's Notes: Suffice it to say that the wondrous words and phrasing in this brief lyrical selection of mine speak amply for themselves. The twenty-eight words comprising this poem, which includes the title too, presents the reader with an immediate powerful word-picture and corresponding imagery that sets the stage for the ultimate spiritual journey of souls as they ascend. The enchanted essence of God's universe is for all to behold. Mankind is part of this too. (Gary Bateman - April 14, 2018) (Lyric)

Empyrean Rapture

Empyrean Rapture

Radiance sublime
God’s true plan

Stars bright
Heavenly light

Angels sing paeans
In God’s name

Souls ascend
Now to arrive

On cosmic dust
Trails to infinity

Thank Tahira for your read and gracious comment here. (I guess I should look at the soft music option. I will have to see if I can find something appropriate.) Best Wishes, Gary

Thanks Arturo, Sometimes it's possible, as you know, for a writer/poet to find the right tone and tenor for expressing a meaningful message in the fewest words possible. This always makes putting poems like this together, all-the-more fun!! Cheers and Best, Gary
