The Waiting Room of Heaven

A poem about . . .

Sit now.

Feel the mist of air surround you.

Touch the wind as it moves through you.

Stroke the door of your heart and feel.

You blind me with your loveliness-

This loveliness, so quiet and still,

so unannounced.

 

You have surprised my heart,

my heart so languid.

You held my heart and made me feel,

nestled against the shoulder of my grief

I have found your loveliness comforting.

 

Come now to me.

Author's Note

I changed the second "stroked" into "held"--better?

very elegant and comforting indeed - you surprise my heart - I like that idea - some people who meet change our lives - loveliness can indeed be comforting! nice!

my heart so languid...not sure what that last word means.
I loved the write. Very nicely done.

Love this. Deep and wondering, longing. My only suggestion would be to change the 'stroked' in the second stanza. You used it once and then it reappears too soon and soils the poem a little. Just my opinion. Still likes it a lot!

This is very good. Short yet so deep. Loved it, esp how it started.

Audry I sincerely love this piece, "Touch the wind as it moves through you" is the line which did stir my spirit and warm my heart such a dreamy glimpse. I close my eyes and imagine. With words we speak we call in our good"Come now to me" speaks loud and clear as your answered request speeds to meet you.
