My twinkling star. "How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!" NIV Isaiah 14:12 As I was flying ever free In joy, no pain, no misery Across bright stars and galaxies I came to earth to look and see. And suddenly, magnetically I was in earth's tight gravity It captured me; I could not free Into some clay of flesh debris. Into earth's spell into a tomb Joined by a sperm in darkened womb Where is was dark and little room Imprisoned in a cave of gloom. And as my star in heaven twinkles I now grow deadly human wrinkles I know that soon this clay I lay will die Released I'll fly back through blue sky. For I have found that earthly pull Can be reversed with throttle full When I choose God's Own Loving pole And catch a ride in Christ's own soul. Back to my twinkling star.

Love this Newell.I'll see you up there. I read the other day in the papers, a psychologist asked, "If there were a pill to take to give you and your loved ones eternal life on earth, but you would have to go through all the trials of life, Would you take it?" My answer is unequivocally NO..So, I'll see you up there. floria Floria |

Newell; I enjoyed this poem entitled "My Twinkling Star." I was reading Floria's response and I rejoice in Ephesians 2:8,9. That is our ticket (if I may use the term) to heaven. See you there!! Wanda |

Hi Wanda! Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Come on everybody! Let's fly! Thanks Wanda, love your scripture. ((Wanda)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |
