I loved reading that. All the chaff blown away and the joy of goodness left behind. He does so much refining in our lives if we allow Him. Sifting the bad stuff away. Esther

This is a very nice poem. Your poem opens with a good simile. Your poem reads well, and I like the flow. Your message is very strong in this poem. There are several well-crafted lines in this poem. Nice job.

We sure all hope this true. Check out my "Ellie the first Easter Bunny" the picture alone is worth the visit. There is another new writer who is very good. Marilyn Hamilton. She write little 55 word stories. "Loosely Suess" is hysterical. You did good work here. karen

    Still tired from writing and editing "Ellie the original Easter bunny" Then it posted it as a poem and not a story. I couldn't change it and had to put a message in author's notes. Karen:-)

Hello Gypsy,

It is evident that you have placed a lot of thought into this piece.
Having lived on a farm all my life and have raised many corn crops, I love the way you compare how God harvests His children when it is their time to come home to Paradise as a farmer shuucks his corn when it is harvest time.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. It is very well written. Have a great weekend...Bill

Hi MariVal,
This is a good poem that could be taken literally and spiritually.
It can be about a partner who brings his/her lover out of him/herself to become a freer person. Or about how God/Jesus loves us.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy your weekend
Joan

I read chapter one before leaving this review. This is profound, passionately graceful, and stunning work. You have the Holy Spirit Muse abiding you. You were meant to write this and share it with such as I -- searching for a foothold in my faith!

    I understand how you feel. I grow up in Spain in a time when people had only one choice of religion... Catholicism. Catholic school was traumatic. I has taken me a long time to find faith. My church is an interface church... everybody is welcome. I believe most religions have something in common... love.

    Thank you for the review, sister Karenina ❤️

    love,

    I'm afraid I had a similar experience, as time went on. I'm A collapsed Catholic but a devout Christian!

I enjoyed the metaphor of harvesting the corn and God waiting until the perfect time. God's time is not our time, but His time is always the right time. Thank you for sharing this wonderful presentation with us.

The corn's image comes in the harvest season, but I guess the farmers harvest during the entire year. It's dry here, we need rain for sure; the crops will suffer and not grow in spring if we don't have some moisture.

Thank you for your wonderful poem. Love does heal the suffering, so we don't have to peel the husks in pain.

This is so lovely. A wonderful comparison between harvesting a crop and the gathering of a soul by God. You have designed a gorgeous presentation as well.

Thanks for another great spiritual poem! In the Bible, Jesus uses the metaphor of a Harvest for when we are gathered up to Him. I really liked:
"He will sift you free
from your husks
of suffering
down to your joyful soul"
