I want to wish everyone a peaceful Holy Week, and a Blessed Easter. I wrote this poem a few months ago. I’d seen another praise poem, written like this, designed so the reader would read the first column from top to bottom, and then come back up and read the second column. I thought it would be cool if the poem could be read both ways: the column on the left, then the column on the right; OR straight across, line one from the left column, then line one from the right column, and on down. So I designed this poem to work either way. I hope it touches your heart.
All praise Divine Energy As above so below
Blue water reflects sky As within so without
Lover’s eye reflects Beloved face As affirmed so formed
Love begets love Abundance begets abundance
Root garden Yam bean squash corn
Flowers and fruit poppy nasturtium peach plum
Miracle of seeds Towhee phoebe junco finch
Allure of nectar Humming bird honey bee
God of momentum Water and wind
Goddess of earth Fire and dirt
If God has a purpose If Energy has a flow
It is self-revelation It is welcoming creation
Know me In your heart

Lovely poem, Nancy! And so much fun to read it across or down. Happy Easter to you!
Thanks so much, Jan! Happy Easter to you too!
Oh Nancy – this is the best. I can’t decide which way like reading it the best. I think across.
BUT what is Towhee phoebe junco finch? I know finch – are these all birds? Thanks
Yes, these are all birds that show up in my backyard!! Phoebes are look like little hot fudge sundaes, with black heads and backs and white chests. Towhees have feathers that are black and white and caramel colors and they remind me of that Sees candy with the caramel and marshmallow covered with dark chocolate. Juncos, to their credit, do not remind me of candy, but they are cute just the same. LOL!
Oh, I forgot to say thank you!! I’m so happy you like it!!
