White seraphs sing in four-part harmony Their hymn a song of hope for humankind Angelic voices join the reverie Supernal music soothes each heart and mind To live each day in light that never dies To see Almighty God just as He is To know the secrets hidden from men's eyes To feel Jah's love and know that you are His A growing horde promotes belief as lame Such skeptics only trust what can be seen These unbelievers' doubts will lead to shame When Christ returns upon this earthly scene With eyes of faith we see beyond the veil With lips of praise we spread the holy tale

Brilliant and shining with His love! What a beautiful Sonnet this makes. Your at your best when you do these and a few other forms you excel on...imho. The message is full of truth, hope, and pleading for people to come to know their Savior before it's too late! Xo

Dear Tom, you are a master of musical meter and praiseful imagery. A glorious sonnet to be enjoyed on its technical merits almost as much as its spiritual beauty. I adore your couplet for a fine finale, after the turn in the 3rd stanza, to drive the message of faith home. Warmest wishes, my poet friend.. ~Suze

Tom, I am glad that your vision provides comfort to you. Anything we have that can help us navigate life peacefully seems like something good. Hopefully, room exists for all religious philosophies since we know they don't always have the same details. Hope you have a wonderful day and continue smiling!

A bit different to your usual rhythm of rhyme, but still depicts the inner light and faith within that you have, which is always comforting to read in a world that sleeps on the truth and sees not the light beyond the veil. Great cadence in your word weaving! And flow too! Sometimes so many are skeptical because of what they see around ,which is evil, however there is so much good in the unseen too if only they knew. Pleasure visiting your page: sending you light

This sonnet is stunningly evocative—a seamless blend of faith, celestial imagery, and profound reflection. The four-part harmony of seraphs paints a vivid picture of divine reverence, while the contrast between skepticism and unwavering faith gives the piece depth and urgency. The closing lines offer a powerful resolution, reminding the reader that belief transcends the visible. This poem is a true testament to hope, conviction, and the promise of eternity. Love it!!
