Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him….
Revelations 1:7


Poem Artwork



 

And if Your words were true ; what then, I ask.
No time to consider; none for doubting.
The self will show right through my goodly mask,
not deft, I fell for the devil’s touting.

In the blink of an eye, in that short spell,
humanity’s snatched from this earthly stay
and where dear Father, will my spirit dwell
should your words be true , all the words you say.

‘Cause it’s much too soon for this road to end,
‘cause I’m still a child afraid of the dark,
‘cause my essence burns and I need to mend,
and laugh and love and make my worldly mark.

‘Cause I need to know why the lamb has strayed,
if your words were true , all the words you’ve said.


Carmen Ruggero .2005

You've mastered the technicalities nicely, Carmen. I'm impressed. You've crafted a deeply thoughtful piece of sonnet writing, blended it with natural flow and ease of expression, into an artful package.

You are the Queen of Sonnets, Carmen. Beautiful poetry that is timeless, both in terms of subject matter and poetic poise and grace. Some wonderful expression here that is thoroughly convincing in terms of its depth of feeling, but is delivered with a delicate lightness of touch that is truly sensitive, yet probing. Treasure the questions, honour the journey... God loves the enquiring mind and the integrity of heart. Psalmists were just such people. Faith enhancing and enriching, thank you - and for your good wishes for my good health - likewise, I'm sure! TY and bless you, Kate xx

Excellence glows and perseverance flows
"In The Blink of an Eye"...

In this English Sonnet, the Major Art glows.

I salute You, Sublime Poet!

In asking, one finds the truth.
Reminds me of the story I heard about two friends dying. One rich- non believer- one poor -Believer- The rich one had to leave all his wealth behind. The poor man was soon about to receive his wealth.

Masterfully written Carmen..

Beautifully said, but I wonder if it really just coincidence. Things don't happen for a reason;they just happen. A very touching poem.

Yes, Carmen, I don't people ask this question often enough, "What if it's true? Then what?" Provocative poem, ma'am. Glad you liked "Dumb Bird" LOL. God tends to heal me with laughter. He let's me laugh at myself and frequently through animals, thus Frillie the Dragon. This time with birds. ~~Nordette
