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.

Your words paint a beautiful scene, Xavier. A peaceful serenade, this. :)

I felt a painting coming into form. I could see you, her and the hillside in a watercolor prayer.

[Brittany Zedalis]

This is a picture perfect writing with spiritual component interwoven, as it is really left for holy spirit to work on the sealed bloomed dream everything will be the way it supposed to be. I am really afraid of holy spirit as it says you can fool around with anyone but not with holy spirit, so I am little cautious do not want to get in trouble, excellent flow, superb imagination, loved the writing

[Lyn Anderson]

This is a wonderful spiritual, haunting, and romantic poem. As always, I am swept by your words.

Every time I read a poem of yours, eyes open to nature...envelopes open to romance...souls open to the spirit...Excellent...:)...........

gorgeous, and you said what I tried to write today but much much better, this is prime example of talent verses trying, I'll get there one day.

this is quite picturesque..and reminds me a bit of Cat Stevens' song "the boy with the moon and star "
sensual blend of man, woman and nature.
