Beautiful poem. Terrific imagery and what a gentle, serene, place you've described. Only a bit thrown from the last 2 lines though. There is no rhyme, so I took the liberty to give you a suggestion:
Where songs of praise in glory's name
have been redeemed and will remain

What lovely rhymes you've created here! Your choice of words helped paint truly lovely imagery throughout the poem. Your writing inspired images of verdant green fields and rolling hills, just like the picture you chose. Very well done and kudos to you!

Roy, This is a very beautiful and very well written spiritual poem you have penned. It is so full of the truth and gracious words. I love the scripture in Isaiah. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord in your writing. Blessings, teri

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nice work. I really like your concept of rephrasing scripture as poetry in the manner that it speaks to you. Good work.
Where songs of praise in glory's courts,
have been redeemed and dearly bought. - This was the only rhyme that gave me pause. Maybe there's a better word than 'bought'?
Best wishes.

The poem is a beautiful dream of what one imagines Heaven will be like. Looking forward to time when all sin will be a thing of the past and we can enjoy a life in God's glory is a wonderful way to spend time.

I particularly love 'forever's beam' - showing that one reliable source of light to guide our lives. Wherever that comes from for each individual, it's fundamental to a fulfilling existence.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
A few nights ago, I had a strange dream. I heard a voice telling me the world was ending. In my dream, the sky turned black and grey. There were mosaics with pictures high up. All over the world, music could be heard. For some reason, I was talking to two married neighbors at my old house. Currently, they are in a nursing home. Anyway, I looked at the wife and told her we had to sing. Singing began. There was something so real about it. The world became completely silent.
So, if this happens, I will know what to expect.

another powerful poem about the essence of your Christian faith, that there is hope for a better world for us all under God's welcoming love. Although I don't share that view, this is a good poem.

This is really lovely, Roy, Nature and God are a great team. The beauty that is all around us, is sometimes marred by the few who love to destroy. There is much we have to be thankful for, my friend. Well done. :)) Love and hugs, Sandra. xx
