Here outside of Eden as the gates closed to your race
You could not know I wept too as tears rolled down your face

You were my chosen people, I fellowshipped with you
In my heart I grieved also at this thing I must do

The rain sent in the daytime your first touch of my wrath
Did you know the rains were tears that I had said enough?

You were children called by me I loved you from the start
Never did I think this act would tear me so apart

I loved you outside Eden…your race to me was lost
Did you stop to think that I would also bear the cost?

Travel on my loved ones turn your hearts away, this day
I cannot bear the pain so I turn my face away

In the desert planting tools I send you to survive
Although the way is difficult you will be alive

My children you are crying please turn away your face
Although you are cast out, yet there still is wondrous grace

My love is never ending this deed is yet undone
One day soon my endless grace will lead you to the one

The ponderous path from heaven leads me back to you
Although cast out you'll prosper and turn to me anew

Then in joyful gladness I shall never be restrained
pouring out my blessings all,  till Eden is regained


Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

A perspective I had not imagined when I made my challenge.  I like what you've done here and am certain of the agony of God over us.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

"Did you know the rains were tears that I had said enough?"

An amazing write born of a single phrase...well done indeed!

Kethry - this is a little different than what I've seen from you. It's lovely, a pouring of a soft heart for others. Suburbly done...

Keth darling sister of my soul, and holder of my dreams, what wonder is this darling girl. Beloved one is it entirely necessary to be so magnificent? Yes I suppose it is you simply are unaware that you are doing it aren't you? If you don't answer yes then I'll be round with the boys You are sooooooooo going to pay the price of perfidy darling girl. Sneakiness and treachery are the norm for you darling girl, I know I should expect no more from you.

Isn't it a good thing that you know I love you, and that I know you love me Or else there would be all sorts of people knocking on my door demanding that I'm nicer to you. If only they knew YOU and I are as inseperatble as Siamese twins

Is this writing wonderful OHHHHHHHH yes it is
utterly utterly fantastic


Love and warm stuff
As always

Kethry, you gave me goosebumps, girl!  Excellent!  I'm sitting here shaking my head because I can't think of anything wonderful enough to express how much I like this poem!  Brava!
