"Isle of evermore"
Walking down through the green fields
in days of summer
Looking at the daisies with smiles
of sunny beams
As soft white clouds above, are
sailing off into forever
Would my spirit be one with theirs
in joyous dreams

The bells of Saint Gabriel's
chime in the distance
Echoes carry through the vast
expanse into future years
And a gentle wind blows, as it
draws the veil in visions of heaven
Where dwells the Eternal, as He
calls for all to hear

Time, time, time
These are the days of your life
From the moment you are born
To the day that you die
In an instant, time will seem to fly

Time, time, time
Is there a meaning to life
Mortal
You do not understand why
Crossing the bridge of the great divide

Following the sun as it casts
shadows across the valley
A journey to the land in a
faraway shore
Clear are the waters, waves of
the open sea
As they flow into the uncharted
isle of evermore

There in the stillness of the air
you can feel the presence
Of the mysterious unknown
from the dimension of the divine
In this plane, far away from
the cares of the world
Would my spirit be one with yours
in airs of joy sublime

Welcome

Deep Blue,

Welcome to "Passions" and I must say that your first post was a most expressive and excellent poem and I thought that it reflected your name, Deep Blue, very very well.

So serene. So beautifully serene.

As I interpreted it, your poem began with bells ringing that no longer ring (The bells of Saint Gabriel's) and you were visiting a time, a place, and a people who no longer exist and so my experience taken from your poem was much more surreal and perhaps a bit more haunting. I loved it!

Anyway, for me, it was a wonderful wonderful spirit journey.

God bless, thank you for sharing, and I hope that you will return to share more of your Amazing talent.

-Bob

Hi Joyce, thankyou for your nice reply. I have written much poetry addressing existential issues, some which are directly related to Spirituality. I will post some of them.

Hi Bob. thanks for the big warm welcome and for the wonderful feedback, I take it as a compliment. I won't take away from your interpretation, only that I was going through reflections of life. the past.present and to where GOD is leading me to that place beyond earthly view in eternity.
