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 in KY 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!

Christina Bowring Date: 5/18/2024 9:07:00 AM Dear Sally, your poetic and spiritual heart shines through your beautiful, inspiring poetry like a beacon of light. How divine is this to read! I loved it and the title too. What wisdom, joy you have so skilfully captured here from your golden pen that lights with much strength through your profound beliefs. Like dear Duke has said - what a great, noble spirit you have. I loved all the heavenly imagery here. Also the very touching words that you have blessed so many with here at PS.
Joe Dimino Date: 5/18/2024 2:05:00 AM Hi Sally, another masterpiece – as if one such fine write would not be enough for a lifetime, yet you do it time after time constantly – as you say, we know God by light, by color, through His many mystical, radiant gradations: Flowering chakras opening, their feeling petals swelling and expanding, drinking in Divine Presence -- during such spiritual, soulful exercise, we sense omnipotence truly with us, around us, filling us to highs of ecstasy overwhelming from the tips of our toes to the top of our heads where I once had hair overflowing. I often wonder how one is not disintegrated instantly. Left a pile of ashes. Yet we are not, to the contrary brimming with sense of healing love indelible. Your art, your writing beams with dedication to God’s Presence and Love in action. You get a FAV from me. Joe.
Duke Beaufort Date: 5/17/2024 6:43:00 PM Sally, you've had a lot of wonderful experiences with the arts and your talent is unmistakable to me. I have had several different careers, but also a liberal arts education, so I can appreciate what you've done. I feel like being in touch with you is a real privilege. You have a real sweetness that nothing can extinguish...so sorry you are suffering physically of course. It makes it hard, but you have a great spirit!!! Great picture of a cat above too on your Home Screen!!
Buhagiar Victor Date: 5/17/2024 1:10:00 AM Who is not in pain in this world, especially as we grow old? Reflections on the great I Am, with nature and emotions. May God heal you.
Duke Beaufort Date: 5/16/2024 11:03:00 AM Sally, I love how you have a connection to nature and a real feeling that there is something profound in this world of ours. BTW, your comment below the poem is touching. There is a lot of pain in this world, but also joy in life that you identify. What's really wonderful is that you are here for all of us. A magical gift you are that makes me smile inside. Is that a self-portrait you drew for your image? It's very striking and a pleasure to regard. It's perfect!
Sotto Poet Date: 5/16/2024 10:07:00 AM Sally, your thoughts are elegant and have a lasting impact. An enchanting voice to enhance your poem. The somber tone resonates with the sincerity of a deeply felt supplication. You use vivid and holistic images leading on an inspiring trip - from the harsh realities of human agony to the heightened level of higher consciousness.
Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 5/16/2024 6:29:00 AM Dear Sally, your godly verses unveil the divine essence of God that permeates all of existence, from the infinite to the intimate. Through vivid, multisensory imagery, you guide me, the soul on a transcendent journey - from the coarse grounds of human suffering to the sublime heights of spiritual awakening. Your poetic genius honors the transformative power of the sacred within us all. This exquisite ode to the omnipotent force that imbues our journeys with meaning is a gift of enlightenment. - Blessings, my friend! Daniel

I felt this! Powerful yet tender and sincere. Pleasure reading your work always! Hope you are doing well.
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 5/15/2024 4:41:00 PM a simply eloquent and touching poem, Sally. So much I liked about your words as well as the physical structure of your poem. I especially liked "for Thee, by Thee and in Thee from dust to stardust: magnificent!" Inspirational and uplifting words. I also appreciate your ending words to the fine folks at poetry soup. I agree, its a community of creative and compassionate folks. Have a blessed evening, hugs, Sara
