Have you ever

sorenbarrett

Have you ever smelled the perfume of rain,

as it falls on grounds naked breast,

heard a leaf sing in whispers,

or been serenaded by an angel with feathers dressed?

Have you been made love to by the undulating sea,

or been carried in the maternal belly of a storm?

Have you been kissed softly by the lips of a fog,

or laid tenderly under snow's blanket so warm,

been embraced by the comforting arms of night,

listened to frogs and crickets enchant you with a bedtime story

or with child like wonder, looked into the mirror of a lake,

reflecting all of heavens glory?

If you have lived long in the grip of man,

you may think all this very odd

but I have been held in the hand,

seen the face and heard the voice of God

    Hello dear poet I'm not religious at all but I have to say what a beautiful poem. 💖 your imagery took me away into a whirlwind

    • sorenbarrett

      Thank you Teddy. I am not religious either in any taditional sense but nature is my god.

      • Teddy.15

        I agree that's a beautiful thought.

          Sorry Soren. While I appreciate the richness of your imagery, any mention of angels or god, however metaphorical (and I've many times stated that metaphors are not my thing) I just fly out of range....🙂

              God is relative, I find
              I like your God
              rain scents and natures soothing scenes
              a healing love, as an icon Ideal
              but by your window
              war drums, collide with zealot heartbeats
              .. they too speak of a God..
              such is Belief, such is Humanity's
              need to warp, all that once started
              with the greatest intentions...
