i bloomed upon a hillside

I bloomed upon a hillside,

backdropped by marvelous sky-scaped canopies.

When Heaven's curtains parted

there stretched mighty stamen, 

petals opening,

dew drips following her sweet nape

bowing submissively under glowing Sun.

I bloomed before her folded hands

finished praying at the alter 

clasping apostles' names and 

releasing scripture spoken

in a language understood 

by her and God alone.

The envelope sealed 

against the sweet scent of my cologne,

brushed with dreams she designed for me,

noting the Holy Spirit was cultivating our love

in ways only we would know.

My prayers sent to ascend 

into love's unfolding ears

may bloom forever in a blessing 

granted by the divine.

Quite the picture you paint of prayer. Its accent, and the patience for it's acceptance.

You've truly brought this scene to life with your limitless imagination...I'm always in awe of your penchant for the perfect image to relay your thoughts...great work as always x.

This is my favorite of yours in a long while.
It's beautiful, spiritual, and romantic all at once.
Sort of like a twist cone with 3 flavors of ice-cream.
It definitely made my top ten of your work.

I enjoyed the play of spirituality and romance. The two are best when combined I think...
A lovely poem of devoted affection, supported by the divine.
