Only God Knows

I dedicate this to all who have wondered why God takes one and leaves another. Love and Hugs.


Only God Knows

 

There wasn’t a soul

Who would fail to note

That grand mountaintop

 

Shame that it crumbled

Like tears trailing cheeks

Cleaving hearts the same

 

Stone collapsed in dust

How missed it will be

Salt rubbed in a wound

 

Just ten miles away

A silhouette hails,

Needing a warm glance

 

People keep passing

Ignoring the view

Missing fallen rock

 

God claimed one valued

Left unloved alone

Mysterious ways

Lovely piece Sheila. I really like that third stanza, "stone collapsed in dust" and "salt rubbed in a wound" go together perfectly and their imagery speaks to the reader.

This is interesting Sheilafriend
and substantive in its rationale.
Each stanza has fifteen syllables, 5-5-5,
and six stanzas to complete the thought process.

I like chaining these little guys together

mysterious indeed!
a unique poetic invention...
Blessings ...

Creator's ways are mysterious,and we just have to wait until He's ready to tell us the answer. Excellent poem, Sheila!...ET

Sheila,
You've thoughtfully expressed ideas and questions that many of us will have wondered about at some time, what my grandparents used to call mysterious ways.

We don't understand His reasonings now, but when we get to Heaven, His answers will then be revealed. All we can do now is hope and trust in Him until He comes back. Well done, Sheila; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

Your title is a phrase I've used a lot; yet, I've never given much thought to it until reading your poem. And you are so right, there are so many things in this world that we have no human answer for--and only God knows. Great write.

in God's overall scheme it is impossible for we mere mortals to comprehend the puzzle of how everything is supposed to fit together -- life alone leaves me in awe -- to ponder His decisions leaves me slack jawed -- peace and love -- Jon Michael

Excellent, Sheila, He has His reasons, although we don't understand ... well penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
