I Heard A Poem Today

I heard a poem today.
It took my breath away.
Its canvas, neither paper or ink.
Nor words, a man would speak.
But carried upon the wind,
and its message made me weep.

I saw a masterpiece today.
Beholding its grace I could not turn away.
The artist was not from this place.
But God above stirred both heart and soul,
In gaping silence my joy did leap.

yeah know that feeling when you read that that touches the core of you heart, writes are good but just one hits home, but this one made me think we all want to write something that will echoe and this piece rings in my heart, excellent write, thank you for sharing

[Cherrie Palmer]

Some moments just capture our hearts. I think that is universal even if your not an artist. The need to cling to moments that touch us.

[Mauricio Montoya]

an artist draws or paints, but a poet is visual communicate for the world to see from words.
keeping on writing.

[NormaZ]

I love this poem, it made me think that every creative act, all our inspiration, comes from something bigger than us.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes it's that certain something that sticks with us till we try to copy it to paper.

[Temperance]

Such a beautiful poem, Cherrie. God has made a masterpiece for us to see, feel, hear, embrace and enjoy. Your poem has done that so very nicely. If you think about it, man too is a masterpiece and look at how many varieties there are to enjoy and learn from. Yes...a very nice write indeed, Ms. Cherrie!

[Cherrie Palmer]

I love how you've stated this. Because it's true. God made us in his likeness and He created all of this for our benefit
If we can just learn to take care of it.

[Temperance]

That indeed is a challenge.

But You wrote it into a masterpiece dear Cherrie. generous and gorgeous. a language only the heart and soul can listen, see and feel. those who can connect and bond with the whole, with the divine can relate to your ethereal words ❤️

[Cherrie Palmer]

Sometimes I see something and rush for a pen to capture it (the best I can)other times I just take it in the pure grandeur and awe of the moment.

[Robert Haigh]

There are indeed greater poems and paintings "out there" in the realms of mother nature, than any man or woman could ever create (try as we may). A finely expressed poetic piece, Cherrie!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Robert and it's true God's creation is breathtaking.

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

What a beautiful poem of nature! Loved the visual it gave me!

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you Kathy 😊

[KATHY SUE SILLS]

My pleasure!

[William Michael Reeves]

Really good poem! Senses used to experience the all of our world. And you threw a sixth sense in there. Which might be spirit of self revelation in the sight of our makers. To have enough sense to be in awe of the beauty in nature and respect that enough to cry.

I think you meant gaping. Gapping is something you do to the distributor cap on your engine.

[Cherrie Palmer]

I hate when the computer helps me.
Thank you Bill.
There are moments in life so overwhelming and beautiful words fail in comparison.

[William Michael Reeves]

Words fail. But we sure do try hard don't we? Despite ... or in spite, of our technology.

[Chris Shaw]

Nature can surely inspire. A beautiful poem you have penned here Cherrie. A fine piece of poetry.
