amazing grace

amazing grace

A Poem by Emily B
"

nervous, so nervous

"

Were I blind to truth

and should I wake

to find men like trees walking,

 

I wonder what miracles of humanity

I might find.


Transfiguration

is made of mud pies

 

and I am blessed

to see what I had missed.

Mark Chapter 8:

22And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

24And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

25After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

It is a whole new world to be seen, I don't know if my eyes will ever fully adjust to the light, but I can dream of becoming a rose wood tree. Hands ever reaching towards the light. You have me spinning in thought Emily!

Great Writing!
