GOD’S KISSES
For Luminosity
15 September 2011

Tears are God’s kisses,
His healing touch,
His blessed hugs,
His comforting salve.

When Adam and Eve
ate the apple
from the forbidden tree,
God bestowed tears
upon the human race
to counteract
and wash away
the sin
that the pair
had brought upon
us all.

We can show our gratitude
by letting God’s tears fall
when they may
and letting them bring
relief,
release,
healing,
faith,
and hope
as they
wash pure, sweet-smelling and free,
our minds,
our hearts
our souls
and as they bless us
with God’s all-encompassing
and forever and ever love.

Tears call our child inside to the surface...When we cry as children it is because we don't know what else to do, and there seems to be no other way to address the problem we are confronting.
This is a wonderful poem, Dianna
Your knowledge of the human spirit is very broad, I can see that, and feel it in the emotion in your words.
Thank You

Thank you, Kat.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you, Ford, for your very beautiful reply.  I am very touched by what you think of my knowledge of the human spirit, and how you see and feel my poetry and who I am.

Thank you, JL.  I hope that when Luminosity comes into Pip again, my words ease her heart, at least a little.

Thank you, Yann, for your warm, kind words.

Smiles and hugs, Luminosity.  Thank you for your kind words.  Yes, my poem is right - feel its words and bask in God's love.  I dedicate my tears, as I write this, to your healing as well.

Your are such a loving Sowl.     Anyone who understands this message is comforted and open to a wealth of blessings.  You touch my heart, too, for the rain that quenches pain and makes me new.  ~KL
