(563) An Awesome View

Rating: 3.9


It was a cool night with a slight drizzle in the air.
I stood at the hilltop and was in awe while standing there.
In the distance a rainbow formed, colors beautiful and bright.
I was amazed at this extraordinary awesome sight.

I see mirrors within the still waters, a half moon toward the sky.
I see shadows of large creatures gliding slowly by.
The colours are vivid with tints of periwinkle blue,
and vibrant dashes of mauve sparingly coming through.

A lip formation of moss resting upon a soft face of sand,
welcomes the touch of the Lord's glorious divine hand.
I picture the eye of God in that half moon up above,
sending showers of heavenly tears to all with his love.

The vast ocean resonates with tranquil, serene peace,
yet powerful enough to devour the largest of all beasts.
The Lord has so much love to share with all of you.
God's gift to man are these wondrous awesome views.

The creator designed all things to be interconnected and inter dependent.But few of us are granted the ability to stand back and see Mans free will often leads him astray following success at any price.Blinkering his eyes to what he has and what is provided freely for him You must have time to stand and stare and just to BE

I love the picture it formed in my mind. Oh if I could see the eye of God in the shy half moon and look into rainbows and the mirrors of many rivers. Thank you for sharing, I saw with you.

It's all a game of unconscious, where our uncalled fears and unfulfilled desires are reshaped in dreams. We all see such dreams when we are not enjoying a deep sleep. A good poetess like Melvina Germain is capable enough to describe such dreams in a great poem like this. It's a wonderful poem.
