Unequivocal Eclipse
For today's prompt, write a major event poem.
A spectacular start to Eclipse Day...
Today bears an air of excited anticipation/expectationfor what has been dubbed A total solar eclipse!Many have made much ado about this rare event!Imagine if with similar excitement, we anticipated and prepared forAnother Once in a 'lifetime' Celestial Event!
Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him—even those who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen.
(Today's poem can be read as oneor as five poem-lets)
To open my eyes to a front row seatTo goodness and mercy is no small feteTo want nothing dearer that God's Hand stayedAnd to rejoice in this day He has madeTo live in the moment before it is spentMakes every Today a major event
***
To feast on the favors/flavors of hope and cheerAnd savor the sparkle of Now and Here Before Today's Slice within reach becomesA gaping impression of scattered crumbsAh, nothing and no one can capture time spentThus, every day is a major event
***
The would-have and should have of yesterday lieLike strewn husks beneath Today's beaming skyTomorrow's illusions may never unfoldToday's vault gleams with priceless moment-goldLet's make the most of its measure soon spentAnd treasure Today; a major event
***
How lovely the laughter that dries the tearHow brief each leaf in the sheaf of a yearHow hardly it seems daybreak spills hope's huesBefore darkly muffled by dusk's adieus How dearly then, before Today is spentWe should be tuned to its Major Event
***
Each day is like a stepping stone; somedayGod will reach down and brush them all awaySomeday, each knee will bow, each tongue proclaimThat He is God; holy, holy, His Name Someday Unequivocal EvidenceWill eclipse all previous major events
Janet Martin
There's an old quote something like this;For the believer, this world is as bad as it will get.For the unbeliever, this world is as good as it will get!
(for the Believer)
How hardly it seems daybreak spills hope's huesBefore darkly muffled by dusk's adieus
