Eve Roper Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

I Should Not Have Looked

I was told, I should not look. That's all it took
inspirited to sounds and motion of birds.
My heart and sight fixed not to overlook
the experience of the Lord's melting Words.

I stared, unable to utter a sound,
at the radiance beauty of angels,
ruffling their feathers. They have gathered around
unfolding like flowers adoring the aisles.

A feeling of glorious warm wave of
joy engulfed me,  listening to His story.
My knees hit the ground looking up above,
stretched out my arms to receive His glory.

I was led by the Word and His nail scarred hands.
Heaven I found, succeeded in making me understand.
