I like the way the poem addresses the soul to show the reflection and the deep desire for the world to turn to Jesus and live more godly lives. Best wishes in the contest!

And the search for the Holy grail goes on even today. It is said it is buried in the ruins of an abbey in England. Of course it represents the real world, how it could and should be. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from judester
This is a gentle plea to mankind to please return to a more compassionate and spiritual way of life. I am probably not the first to suggest that if you did a reverse ethereal. It would have looked like a chalice. Bravo, judester

Hi there, anonymous writer. I can see that you have dedicated this poem to your belief in God, and I do respect that, although I can't quite follow that. You've written a great etheree poem. I wish you the best of luck. Ulla:))

Excellent! Form is spot on and adheres to the technical aspects of an Etheree poem. As a man of faith, I appreciated your take on the cup of salvation. Your piece flows and it is respectful and bold. I wish you luck in the contest, I thought you not only wrote a poem but one that speaks and makes a statement. Good job.

Comment from Gail Denham
That statistics right now, this year, are not good in the count of people attending church, believing in God, worshipping God - it's time we who know truth tell is out loud.
Good poem

Gail, it is a sad commentary, indeed.
Comment from Rmocruz
A great job of conforming to the Etheree poem format.
I believe this brief spiritual free verse would be worthy
in any poetic format.
Well penned effort overall!

Of course the chalice, or the Holy grail, purports to being the cup of the new covenant, in which Christ partook of wine and bread with His disciples at the final supper, well done, to drink of the cup means eternal life. A great entry in this poetry contest, well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

This is a skillfully penned Etheree poem and a respectable contest entry. The picture stands out as an excellent choice and is the perfect complement. Keep writing.
