Ember Pillow By: Noah Eaton 7/9/01 Purple haze lingers down upon the mountains, hovering about The Lord is brooming a silver lining from light Milk of the Lamb cascading from castle clouds An aqueduct, a covert binding the heaven and the earth in sight Accompanied to Jesus, proclaiming the motive I am no longer afraid of everything in this world I stand for In the eve I will rest upon my ember pillow, accepting His gift Situate myself under sanctity’s blanket, and let the light shine through my door Slumbering in my clandestine haven, free in His paradise I walk among the primrose path beneath His hanging gardens Surrendering myself to heaven, going as far as I can rise Trespassing a mirror, seeking pleasure from disclosing limits I watch a dove soar through the sky, a blessing rehearsed I stand in awe watching all that is lovely that to me before was quaint Seasons granting me reasons, all my dreams come floating in reverse In the garden of my heart, I cherish the I Am and pick a nosegay Well, the point of the matter exists in my own point of view In my time in Babylon, I regret too much, and it was never too easy Resting my head on this ember pillow, I find his guidance that I pursue Here I lie on my mattress, intertwining with a reverie |

You know it was really hard to pick a favorite part of this poem, it was my kind of poetry and I LOVED it all, but this is my favorite stanza: I watch a dove soar through the sky, a blessing rehearsed I stand in awe watching all that is lovely that to me before was quaint Seasons granting me reasons, all my dreams come floating in reverse In the garden of my heart, I cherish the I Am and pick a nosegay Your imagery was absolutely fantastic, and I really enjoyed this one. ~And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance ~ |

I loved the archaic references to Babylon, her hanging gardens, and her ember pillow compared to your rest found in the garden of your heart. Again, wonderful imagery that took me right into the gardens covered with purple haze. |
