Eileen Manassian Poet Sapphic stanza

Heavenly Splendor

Wounded, bleeding, dying in utter anguish
Downcast, burdened, constantly second guessing
Seraph’s heartbeat rhythmically wakens visions
Longing for heaven

Sunshine, laughter, beautiful running fountains
Nature, beaming, showing her outer garment
Children, lovers, cherubs and seraphs singing
Heavenly splendor

Demetrios Trifiatis September 21, 2013 at 7:31 AM The two sides of the coin named life! If one is eliminated the other vanishes at the same time. What an irony! Tossing the coin the work of fate is, we just pray to be lucky as the side we desire to come up! Deeply philosophical! Good luck! Eileen Manassian September 21, 2013 at 8:42 AM My dear poet...Thank you for your lovely post and thoughts...It is grace that makes us able to taste the better side of the coin...GRACE...His amazing grace of which we are so undeserving. I'm so glad to have this visit by you! :) Filakia

Poet Tacito September 20, 2013 at 11:20 AM Powerful & poignant. A longing for that innocence to overcome the mistakes of old. One day, I hope, humanity will become powerful enough to apply our only power (choice) to remove the weights, the burdens, and not just reach for the stars, but become it. Awesome. Eileen Manassian September 20, 2013 at 1:55 PM Thank you, Drake..Lovely post...We, on our own, can't do anything about this....It's a gift. Given by the Father of lights to those who acknowledge Him as the giver of free choice, the giver of live, and every good thing. It's real...It's literal.....I hope, by His grace, I can see it one day....Thanks for the lovely words....
