What I Have Seen This Eventide....

Rating: 4.5


What I Have Seen This Eventide....

I drove on the way to home
just above Arnhem
what did I see?
The moon
again, so full and so big
above the meadows above Arnhem,

the moon I saw was
so biggest white
like full moon again
it was about half past 8 eventide

my heart started to sing
Is that possible to see the full moon twice?
too little knowledge about full moons
have I

the full harvest moon
that was on the 1st of October
as I told you, God showed me that
since I have been praying
wishing to see that eagerly

this evening is already the 4th of October
do you still remember?

despite the worst weather and thick clouds
and the heaven's pour-outs
God showed me again
while drving my car in Arnhem

I am enjoying again
the full moon above Arnhem
so full and so bright
this scintillating eventide

thank you so much dear Lord
your face was in sight
on that big big moon this eventide
loveliest biggest moon and so round
like full harvest moon abound….

Wat Ik Vanavond Heb Gezien….

Ik reed op weg naar huis
net boven Arnhem
wat heb ik gezien
De maan
weer zo vol en zo groot
boven de weilanden boven Arnhem,

de maan die ik zag was
zo grootste wit
weer als volle maan
het was ongeveer half negen avondavond

mijn hart begon te zingen
Is dat mogelijk om de volle maan twee keer te zien?
te weinig kennis over volle manen
heb ik

de volle oogstmaan
dat was op 1 oktober
zoals ik je vertelde, God liet me dat zien
sinds ik Hem erom gevraagd had
dat héél graag te willen zien

vanavond is het al 4 oktober
weet je het nog?

ondanks het ergste weer en dikke bewolking
en de uitstortingen van de hemel
God liet het me weer zien
tijdens het rijden met mijn auto in Arnhem

Ik geniet weer
van de volle maan boven Arnhem
zo vol en zo helder
deze sprankelende avond

heel erg bedankt lieve Heer
je gezicht was in zicht
op die grote grote maan deze avond
mooiste grootste maan en zo rond
zoals de volle oogstmaan….

This Eventide you have seen. While driving on the road you were fortunate to see again the big and full moon. God is very graceful to show this natural beauty to give realization of wonder of his creation. God is great and God is gracious. This poem is very heart touching and this truly carries scenic beauty! ..5 stars..

Lovely poem. Sometimes the best way to thank our creator is to appreciate the splendour of creation and in this poem you do justice. Thanks for sharing.
