The Eastern Sky Poem by Myrtle Thomas

The Eastern Sky



The image we seek fades like the morning mist
never exactly as the reality
pulled fragments from broken lives
remnants of the heart, leftover dreams
sweet as honey the memories are framed
Places and events instilled until we perish
we are the flowers of the masters hand
the breath of Jehovah God in our nostrils
Then alive we became a living soul.

We love unconditionally from our birth
to know the eyes and hands of family.
Lost treasures pure as gold, that illuminated our soul
then in the evening of our life we are called out
through the door of death returned to the master's mind

In life we are embedded in the heart and minds
of loved ones, as they too await the Spring time of resurrection
only now a short time until the flowers will bloom again once more
The eastern sky will usher in his Majesty The King Of Kings and Lord of Lords
and his flowers will bloom again in his glory, to stand on earth through out eternity.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
MyrtleThomas
Rev.20: 12,13; 'I saw the dead, the great and small, standing before the throne,

and scrolls were opened; But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds... They were judged individually according to their deeds.'(The opening of scrolls evidently points to a time of education in the divine will, in

harmony with Isaiah 26: 9. The fact that 'the scroll of life ' is opened

indicates that there is opportunity for those who heed that education to have their names written in the scroll.Ahead of them will be the prospect of eternal life in human perfection.)

' We will bloom in the newness of perfect life '
