God's Spies
The mystery of things
As if we were God’s spies
—Shakespeare
That surprise,
Country Girl—
You’re the magic
Behind the camera eye.
We’re God’s spies,
And with a poem
I can also descry
An April sky
With blurred clouds
And rain
Down a pebbled windowpane.
But, unlike the camera
I can explain
How your mist
Is soft and fine
As it creeps
Inside my mind…
And fills my heart
With such wonder
I can hear
Distant thunder.
There are ways to catch the universe, to look for it, to give it an explanation. The artist with his work is what he tries to do: to collect everything that is outside him in order to understand it. The one who draws, the one who makes a sculpture, the photographer, the poet, all of them seek to eternalize the moment, things. Apparently, the poet has an advantage and that is that his material is the words, the ones he moulds, kneads, changes, in order to make them sound and shine. The poet with his poem tells the future, to those who read it, what the stones, the heavens, the stars were made of. A poem also speaks to God in the ear. I embrace you, @johnjgeddes.
I love that line, "A poem also speaks to God in the ear." The process of creation is very dear to God and when we participate in it by giving birth to art or to children, it fills us with wonder - it overwhelms us and is too much for us to comprehend
Our God is a loving God. Remember that. Surrender it to him and he will take care the rest
Thank you
La Verdad..!! Que Hermoso.. Me encanto..!
It is beautiful this poem that tells us how through poetry we can feel and beautify even more the gifts of God: a sunset, a gray and rainy day, a rainbow. A poem opens all our senses and makes our spirits happy. I wrote a poem some time ago that is entitled God's Gifts, I would like you to read it. It's in Spanish, but with the translator I hope you enjoy it, @ johnjgeddes. I give it to you: https://steemit.com/spanish/@aurodivys/dadivas-de-dios-poema
@aurodivys, although I appreciate your comment, it's bad Steemit etiquette to spam your link on someone's site. Link spamming can get you down-voted and/or flagged. It's a bad practice like vote 4 vote. You have been on the site for over a year and must know this by now. Please don't do this.
I am very sorry that my intention has been misunderstood, friend, @johnjgeddes. I know perfectly what to do and what not to do in this platform, I did not look for votes for my publication, it has already expired long ago. What I wanted was to share with you the feelings of that poem. Do not worry it will not happen again. Excuse me please. Greetings.
