Things Are Looking Up

I I may share my love for Jesus and Bible - in vain The practice is its own reward: His Word is everything From Gauge, Level, Voltage and Testing Machine - For philosophies, hermeneutics, gymnastics, gyrating - The Acid test of Scripture: if it's not there, I'm passing ... II Look "up" is a general point, you may generally take from me But I challenge you, "UP" one day "down" another way If one points at the sky, while the Earth spins, where's "up" really? Still, looking at sky, stars and more at night, is serious PLAY Looking beyond the garbage on level ground, ether beckons U & me III Then again, "looking up" is well-deployed to uplift one's spirit There's something magical when we shift gazing at people, to trees And higher - be they clouds, falling snow, even hail, or - satellite More and more CREEPING STARS I see up there, satellites they be! Still, I say look up - it works wonders - no matter what bothers me

Anil, So true...Gazing upward to the stars, the heavens and the mysterious movement of galaxy matter is so very rewarding for the heart, spirit and soul. I love your poem. All the best, Susan :)

Yes, the sky and stars and whatever lies beyond is so breath taking in it's majestic mystery, I do find a spiritual connection to the heavens, I try to look up every night~

Hi Anil, I can feel the love you have for God. When I look up, I also see Him. I believe that all Christians (who are His) see the same things as you do. Keep on writing and "Keep on fighting the good faith" (as Paul said to Timothy). Excellent poem.... Prayers  ~  Debra
