Shooting Stars of Awe

I have always known, I was a slender pale vein beating in the throat of the earth feathering at its nape, and that I was rarely noticed but the hand of a god was rested on the pulse of me and a speck of dust has been anointed by his hand the Snow globe of winter cracked open as incandescent fingers of light dropped through, I knew then this was a day unlike any another I was in the thrall of madness the last time I felt the eyes of a god rest on me but now I’ve been touched Is this the madness of divinity or a reality in awe? I don’t care, anymore, this speck of dust has now been mapped by the hand of a god and in his heart there is a place ever waiting my return this simple speck has found a home in heaven kissed by the stars

Jayne, this is simply one of the most beautiful poetry I have read here on the soup. Your wording and the imagery it provokes is amazing. Yes, you have been touched by a speck of divinity, perhaps not realizing that you already have it inside. We all have that essence of divinity within us, as we are all part of and belong to God. Thanks for sharing this beautiful write. Goes to my fav. and what a nice poem to find when I awake! Thank you for you comments on my featured poem. Love, Caroline.
