Oh! ! God To Be So Ravished! ! Poem by Norah Tunney
Oh! ! God To Be So Ravished! !
How can you touch the magnificence of love in a lifetime?
there is no container
big enough to hold a drop
of this Eternal Beauty,
it carves itself so deeply
into your being-
everywhere you look you see it's heartbreaking tenderness,
you feel it in the ecstasy of prayer
and when you fall in love
oh God! ! to be so ravished
to feel so wildly alive
that your bones tremble
and your neck so exquisitely wounded-
your body lays waste across
the floor,
sometimes it wakes you up
in the night weeping,
weeping for the sheer simple joy of breathing,
you are like a drunk-
drunk with aliveness,
drunk on the enormous kindness.
At the intersection of health, chance, luck and good fortune where expectations and dreams are finally realized. That electric place wherein all comes together for those fortunate few that have the heart and soul to allow themselves to be ravished. The poets song resounds throughout the ages and your poem is a glad and unique voice within this chorus...................absolutely splendid! !
Very insightful Edmund yes one must allow ones self to be ravished.It's interesting I have noticed it sometimes comes at the most unexpected times. It can stem from exterior circumstances or sometimes the sheer simple joy of being alive.Thank you for taking the time Edmund. I love your poetry.
Beautiful poem of thanksgiving to the Lord. Yes, being alive is wonderful experiences given unasked for. Thought-provoking write, M'm!
