Good job* * * * Very interesting. FYI: WE (aka...Also Known As...me, myself, and I) believe in Thee only SUN of G...O...D, for in TRUTH, no living thing on Earth could live and/or survive without thee "S...U...N." True??? Thee one-and-ONLY S...U...N that shines over the GOODNESS (the daytime and/or the GOOD things on Earth) O...R the DARKNESS (the nighttime and/or the BAD things that happen on Earth) True??? Hence, the acronym, G...O...D. True??? The SUN of G-O-D is the light unto the Earth and/or a lamp unto our feet. No??? Thank you, so much! EDDE.666

    This post was a oops, not intending its release, live and learn. I know this write is filled with pits: first thoughts. Thanking you for your statements: I will consider them. And that generous rate despite many faults.

This poem intrigues me. The Hallmark image accompanying it made me anticipate a shallow devotional, and this isn't that, I don't think. The opening, "I've seen your glorious exposure, glistening to light" feels strong and just a bit off-kilter to be the cliche it is trying to be. The image of glorious exposure feels just a little too human, possibly sensual, to be what I was fearing. Then, the capitalized "On High" makes me fear I was right again, and perhaps the poet was just confusing human love with divinity in their own mind, and so it goes. I hear a push-pull between the divine and human realms in this poem, an almost cliched divinity made inexplicably human with a wink. But, for me, it is still too murky, the lines too ill defined to have the bite I'd like from the contrast and to know what to make of it. But, I'd like to know. I'm curious what the poet was up to with this.

    I love your response, prevailing this read. I had no ideal placing this new poem: would be released: first draft. Thanking for your words, prevailing it's content: I will consider those statements. And I do appreciate that generous rate: despite its many faults.
