This is a beautiful kyrielle Rod! It is imaginative and thought-provoking as well as perfectly metered and rhymed. The accompanying picture seems perfect for the theme. I loved everything about this. Congratulations for winning the contest too! Not much of a surprise. ;p

Hi Rod. Oh my, God never sleeps. He's got his hands/arms full with us humans. This is a very nice Kyrielle poem that asks a human question of a Deity. Let's hope he remains on the job 24/7 for our sake. Congratulations for winning the contest. Great job. Marilyn

    Hi Marilyn. I am so pleased you enjoyed my Kyrielle and I appreciate the congrats. Several reviewers agreed with you that God NEVER rests. I think my Speaker?s question may be rhetorical.

What a beautiful kyrielle - a perfect form for a spiritual reflection. And we are thankful that God never sleeps and He always keeps watch over us. I loved your lovely nature descriptions and the sense of sorrow that the angels must have watching the human problems.
Congratulations on the win!!

This is a fantastic poem! It is so thought-provoking. Where does God test His head? I know that God is unknowable to us in His true form, but the compassion in us causes an empathy for God and we want to feel He is resting after all of His mighty work that happens every day. xoxo

The author's words were descriptive, creative and interesting. I really
liked how in each stanza the last line was repeated. The poem had
a calming effect for me. The artwork is perfect and compliments this
poem well.

Hello anon, this is very well written kyrielle. The repeated line sits comfortably in place and none of the stanzas sound contrived to meet the demands of this poetry form. Each stanzas works well on its own. Very well done with a really lovely picture to accompany. Good Luck - regards Dorothy

Upon the hearts of his creation upon the souls who believe, upon the horizon of his divine creation, that is where God rests his head. He doesn't sleep, but comforts us to rest. This is good.
