Heavens Above

worship in the shade

a cathedral ever glade-

reaching for the sky

Again, I love how you brought this picture of nature around to looking at our Heavenly Father! It makes you see nature in a different way. It should make people want to worship the Creator more than the creation. We're just to appreciate and respect His creations. Congratulations with this winner!

Hi, Sir Brian Strand. Congratulations on your winning poem, "Heavens above". Your Haiku express a very powerful sentiment about one's spirutuality...by just gazing at the Heavens above! A powerful statement, which makes an unbeliever... believe! Enjoy your reward with many more to come. God bless for your comments on my poetry. Keep up the wornderful work. Warm Regards, Andrew.

This reminds me of Emily dickinson's poem in which she describes feeling closer to God in her garden than she did in a church. Beautiful poem, Brian! Love, Carolyn
