We stood together
on the edge of the abyss of damnation
I...hesitant, he...calling me
I...hesitant, he...calling me
I was naked
before the world
for everyone to see
but really there
was only the two of us
just God and me
I reached out my hand
hoping to find
someone honest someone kind kind
a sea of green
somewhere to to dance and just be free
was opened just for me
The sea seemed only a mist
strange things and faces were seen down below
I could hear them calling soft and low
don't be afraid
said a voice from above
just step on out and you'll soar like a dove
I stepped onto that sea of green
and soared above the abyss
for all those faces to see
I danced with the clouds
walked on a rainbow
and rode a lightning bolt across the sky
for upon that Irish green sea
there were only the two of us
just God and I

A beautiful statement of faith, GS! I love your use of green for this wonderful place, green is the color I most miss where I live now. To me, Heaven would be dancing in field of green!

ReplyDeleteLoved this poem and truly there were tears in my eyes as I was reading it. It really does show how one has to have faith and to always be ready to take a leap of faith when the moment calls for it. And I also enjoyed how you incorporated greenery into the poem. Yes, a very delightful and thoughtful poem.
