Mrs KT, here you capture His presence in nature. Not least among many beautiful lines in this poem is, ".. the gentle grasp of my newborn babe." Birth and rebirth, echoed in all of nature, transitional, permanent, beyond comprehension, is brought before the reader in this wonder filled poem. A spiritual, fitting, observation of glory on Easter day. You are Blessed, Friend ! D.

Comment from bloodyaurore
"I cannot shake Him loose." I like that line.
Part of the reason this poem is so powerful is that it's not only about love for God, but also the petty human emotions we all feel towards him at some time in our lives.
Good flow. I liked the repetition of that one line, "I am no stranger to God."
Nice work.

Comment from amada
What a wonderful message of love, forgiveness, and peace in this Easter season. The author is really speaking from her heart, she has experienced it, and now she is good enough to share it with us, so we don't loose track of God either. A wonderful reminder that God loves us all, all the time. Thank you.

Comment from Artasylum
i loved this line...i'm not kidding it made me cry just a bit.
I have experienced His healing powers
when He has restored
the lives and spirits
of his warring and sick children,
and allowed one more
day
to dawn upon
a world
devoid of memory and love.
god bless us one and all...tiny tim knew of what he spoke

Comment from angeldream
very forceful lines and i like the green background, so vivid and clear, adding a vivacious weather to poem
Beside this unsuspecting
peaceful pathway,
enveloped by an
ethereal chapel of majestic
white flowering dogwood,
He bids me welcome.
Without hesitation,
I accept.
a lot of descriptions:
"etheral chapel of majestic white flowering dogwood" very descriptive wording and explanatory also
really unique poem
so inspiring and capturing
thanks

this piece touched me deeply. thank you for sharing it.
what got to me the most was the humanity you wrote about ... you clearly discuss your reverence of God as well as the times you have been angry and cursed him. and God's relentless desire to hold you (and each of us) close in spite of times such as those.
your poem gives me a strange peace that i am not alone in the broad spectrum of human emotion that waxes and wanes as we have a relationship with God. thank you for that.
and for what it's worth? i believe that your mom did see that dogwood tree. i believe it is very possible that she was there with you gazing on its' splendor just as you did.
thanks for writing such a wonderfully inspiring piece.
please continue to share your gift,
faithjean

Hello Friend! Well, I must share that this is my very first public spiritual poem - although when I have written of nature, God is there, too. . . But this year has been rather trying, and suddenly the words just started spilling forth as I stood among those dogwood. The only way to explain how I was feeling was to put it in poetry form. . . and share it. Maybe this is God's way of giving me confidence to write of my mother, who I love dearly. . . Of all the member of my family, I have been unable to write of her to the extent that I have written of others. . .she has suffered greatly. . . maybe this is a beginning. . . Be well. . . and thank you for your tender review. . . diane
