The Gift: Rebirth

THE GIFT: REBIRTH

Oh God, my Dearest God...
  clothed me fine 
    with your love divine
        upon magma pits that hid me
Oh God, my Dearest God...
   take me, save me... Save me!

My life gnarled 
  old like cathedral trunks
   deep rooted under brown solid soil ground.
  Branching trials somehow
    coiled and pinned me down..
      So as dark cyclopean sins fog me;
        shuddering my peace and sane.

Oh God, my Dearest God
    how calm, oh so calm, you came.
      How quiet, oh so quiet you cared
        How gently, oh so gently, You cushioned me
   Lovingly, oh so lovingly, YOu rescued me.

Tumbling twixt to pillars of dawn and twilight
    Oh God, my Dearest God
With You, threading mountain to mountain of woes, 
  lead me to harvest free
to orchard gifts of wisdom, hope and strength
   even to  crystal stairs of limitless amber wonder,
You let me experience to pursue these borders.

Oh God, my Dearest God...
  With our partnered walk
     icy drizzle of snowtalk
       melted gradually...
Oh God, my Dearest God...
  By siblings of smiles and golden gestures
     You permitted me to have anew nurture.

Oh God, my Dearest God
   allow me then to hymn a psalm
      let it be a humble hum
 of my gratitude to Your matchless charm.

Barefoot, oh God, I will come
  baring all and bowing down.
 I will deliver my soulful cry
   that my aged misty life is gone
 And that,
   now
      is a present rainbow valley of rebirth..

Excellent, Olive_eloi!! This is one great poem expressed deeply with love and conviction. You describe your rebirth as such an enriching experience. Perhaps it is how it has been presented to you that makes it appear so beautiful...who knows, maybe you had it all before and did not realize!:) Take care and good luck. hugs // paul

Yes maybe Paul I had it all but I seem sometimes confused or too busy to fathom that it's already present.. And yes it is just lately I have become so intimately knocked to know and acknowledge this..:) hence I'm really so grateful ... I really wish I can do more.... You know

Wow! I am smiling real big at the love textured in your poem. You're amazing girl :)
