of Knowing Thee

of Knowing Thee

     …Of Thee
holding peace…Glory
 overlying, fine/
quite sheer radiance
overall/
     dimensional
The Omnipotence of Thee 
Most Holy I-AM…
nonperiel
— infinite — intimate —
pervasive Divine
enduring Breath of Life 
composing the songs
   of legions of translucent angels
opening petals unseen
that our souls glean
completely in the blessings
of all the shades and hues 
    of your redeeming life
and light
    (from allizarin to zuggarat)
dressing our hours…
as graced in delight or suffering
bringing degrees of learning
to transform our journeying 
time anew
— from being grown 
    in humanity’s coarse ground
— to becoming branches bearing 
the fruit of this New Wine 
grown from deeply rooted vines
   for Thee, by Thee  and in Thee
from dust to stardust:
magnificent!

————————————*** Inspired by & written for my dear soul-friends at PoetrySoup.com (especially of late for the support given to me & Jim duing  my illnss), as I am so daily touched by their poetry’s deeply creative spirits  voicing their devotion to Our Holy Father God and King.  I have found no other place on-line as similarly expressive of such blessed love.  Finding the world of poetry here& & the sweet fellowship it founds, saved my life from a degree of lonliness & grief, after my beloved poet friend here committed suicide without warning in 2019". I am so thankful…to God for the open & ready hearts that may be found here.  In the theme of many poems I’ve read here, I’ve truly re-defined my definition of Gratitude.  I repeatedly & repeatedly, too, pray God will bless all of you!
