Face of God

I don’t set my sights too high, upon wonders far beyond me.
—Psalm 131:1



I stop at night
In the garden
To watch
The Moon face
In black water.


It’s so lovely,
Trembling
In the dark

But when I touch it
It departs…
As if it never was.


Once, I saw your face, Lord,
High in the darkness
Above me;

Your gentle light
Cheered
But quickly disappeared

It's the way you often flee
And hide yourself from me

Distant as the Moon
In her quiet afternoon…

Solitary and white
Up in the starry heights.

What a beautiful poem.

thank you

Me haces recordar con este poema que hay una parte de ti que estuvo cerca de Dios, @johnjgeddes. Qué cerca te siento ahora cuando hablas de Ël, qué frágil y respetuoso. Seguramente nos han enseñado que Dios está en el cielo, por encima de nosotros. A veces quiero creer que Dios está a nuestro lado, ayudándonos, dándonos la palmada, el abrazo que nos da fuerza; que cuando miramos una sonrisa, una flor, un amanecer, allí está Él. diciendo: Sigo aquí y no te desamparo. Me voy liviana de alma con este poema. Mil gracias por regalarme este sentimiento. Un abrazo

A veces un poema es un milagro, y un milagro es cualquier cosa que acerque a Dios

Really sublime penning. John:)

Getting a glimpse of grace now and then makes it all worth it:):):)

Thanks, Pryde - you're right, it does :)

It's the way you often flee
And hide yourself from me

Beautiful rhythm, John.

Hey, lydon! welcome back :)

It is good to be back, John! :)

"When I touch
It departs
As if it never was".

This is how they explain illusion and in Hinduism "Maya". Our physical dimension is totally an illusion. I wish for Non- Physical Journey. I wish for freedom.
