“I am an expression of God”
How easy to see
the God in me
as I gaze at the sky,
birds winging by.
Connecting with
rainbows
and moonglows
as the wind blows
across my warm face.
Can I look at you
and see me too?
Can you gaze at me,
your own soul see?
From the grain of sand
on which we stand
to the vast night sky
where rockets fly
is seen the hand of Creation.
I am God
It is me.
Expressing Its love,
I came to be.
A hope, a thought
a desire, a need
She thought of me,
her soul to feed.
I am as glass
He sees right through
into my soul,
a perfect view.
And as the bubble
filled with light-
ephemeral, fleeting,
full of delight
to be known for but a moment in time
I stand alone
at the precipice, peering
into the abyss
with eternity cheering.
We cannot fail
in this you see
for I am He
and She is me;
and
Together we are magnificent.
Look around as you long to see God. It is staring you in the face……
Love and Light,
Cheryl

Hey you know me and my crazy coincidences etc. It’s 8:42 am here but I just noticed the computer says my comment was made at 11:11. Definitely a connection going on my friend 🙂

Thank you Frankie. I’m glad you liked my poem.
That is not surprising to me at all about the time and numbers. I feel it too. There are many instances lately that I have been noticing that cannot be coincidence at all.:)

So beautifully written. I’ve thought along these lines so many times, but would never have been able to express myself this way. The bubble shot is awesome, and it went so well with your poem!

lovely poem, well done, i find it too hard to write about stuff close to me. maybe you could submit to this publication:http://www.thoughtcollection.org/guidelines.html
they like life pieces and everything that comes under that umbrella, and have hard copy journals as well as online things. i think the journals are themed though. worth checking out 🙂

Thank you so much for the kind words and especially the link. I will definitely check it out. I understand what you mean. I write when inspiration strikes, sometimes a photo, a breeze, the smell in the air…but more often tan not painful experiences. I cannot easily write romantic happy poems. Tha ks again! I appreciate your reading.

Inspired and beautiful, and I suspect, something very personal to you.
I remember you expressing some concerns about how the complementary photos would appear on a kindle as and when you decide to publish; to be honest, I think your poetry more than stands on its own merits now, the words alone captivate the reader.
