What a beautiful tribute to the the most high. It is laced with gratitude, and an obvious love and awe for He who sits in the Heavens, and loves we sons of men. Beautifully written, you're heart is one of a royal scribe, well done, blessings, Roy

And last but not least, before I call it a day, one more offering from your pen, and a Sedoka at that. I admired your spiritual poem about the role of "meekness," with its "roof" metaphor and use of alliteration. More good wishes in the competition and sweet dreams- Joan

That is a wonderful poem. Religion is a spiritual belief too. Well thought out and clearly written. I ran out of 6er's but this is definitely a winner to me. Be proud. Great work.

Totally agree. Well said! Nice theme. Nice presentation. Deep and profound insight, my friend. It's an interesting word choice: 'burden of gratitude'. I find it lifts weight, not adds weight. The bliss of gratitude makes more sense. So your word choice prompted deep reflection. Indeed, that bliss is also a burden in that we have to be responsible with our minds - to work to keep the ego from flaring up, to keep humble. It is a burden of sorts...rewarded with bliss...

Love this phrasing: His roof's vast refuge

Fine phonetics and flow in this fine free verse.

Hello Kamran, You know this is a beautiful write. It seems strange however, when males write of faith and gratitude they do it with feminine presentations. Wonder if that is subconscious? Simply beautiful. I would also like to remind you dear friend, I also write once in a while lol. Would be great to see you at my place too once in a while. huggs xoxo Kiwi

    xoxo my friend, much obliged and thank you very much for the encouraging review. Using feminine presentations to reflect faith/gratitude is sincere; to me they are more devoted and submissive to God than the rebellious males. Now I am going to your profile and become your fan so that I never miss your posting. As you should know, I am your pupil and could never forget your guidance when I first joined the site and for that I remain grateful, thank you my friend.
