This is a poem for a rainy day. The picture is compelling. The emotions you illicit are visceral. I felt the pull of the rim. I lost my mother recently, and it's like losing an arm. You counted on it always being there. Then, gone. Your writing is hard wrung out of you I imagine. You through yourself into the smells, the temperature, the voices. I wish you joy. It will come.

Thank you so much Karen for your astute comments. I truly appreciate that you chose to address the 'mechanics' of painting a word picture of a moment between worlds. Thanks also for your wish; I know that though, "...weeping may endure for a moment, but joy comes in the morning." I am blessed to live in a painful joy every moment. Really blessed. Smiles.

We, women, cry for happiness, for sadness, and because it's Tuesday. But the most beneficial tears are tears of grief. We cleanse our psyche of the absence of a constant in our life. They will never walk into our room again, but they will be in the room. I find that comforting.

This is a well-written poem. How much some of us want to go home, but God has given each of us "x" amount of time to live here on this earth, but He has also given us what we need to live it out.

You are perfectly correct dear poet friend... and none will leave this earth without His permission; neither are we able to stay on our own accord. He is a good, and awesome God.
Thanks so much for your time. It is appreciated.

Of course the rift is the gap between a holy God, and the natural man, and then there is the spiritual man, a natural man imbued with a knowledge of God, until I was 41, I wasn't absolutely sure there was a God, and then God convinced there was, but beautifully written my friend, Roberta, blessings Roy

Thank you for sharing this! i have been rescued from near Death many times, but my experiences are not the same as yours. I do know The Lord has had mercy on both of us, and tank you for honoring Him here!

I just posted an "event he odds" poem that might interest you: "WAS IT TOO LATE?" in my portfolio.

I find this very interesting that you don't consider this world your home. I can't say as I blame you, but what do you feel is home if not here? Your writing caught my attention, as you can see. Nicely done.

Thank you so much for taking your precious time to read this. The short answer to your question is that for me, and those who are born again of the Spirit of the living God, eternity is the home for which we yearn... not the cloud sitting, hands folded kind of eternity some imagaine but the recreated, perfectly unblemished tangible eternity for which God created us, and gave of Himself to provide for us. Thinking of what is 'home' for me makes the waiting here possible... and endurable. Blessings.
