I dreamt I stood upon a wave,
A foaming wave upon the sea,
And all the waters of the world
Lay within the waves before me.
Within the waves I saw the gleams
Of rainbow colours shining clear.
The gleam of ocean, sea and stream,
Of river, waterfall and mere.
I dreamt I stood upon a star,
A star of fire, white as snow,
And all the lights of all the stars
About me wrapped their blinding glow.
I gazed and saw the stars alight
With matchless light surpassing thought,
All shining scarlet, gold and white,
And flamed with green, and silver-shot.
I dreamt I saw a beaming Face,
The veiled Face of God our Lord.
His Countenance like lightning flashed
As fair and awful as a sword.
And in His Visage I perceived
All the glory of creation,
And in wonder of His loveliness
I bowed and knelt in adoration

Loved the contrast on the fire and the snow. Loved the stanza on the sea, too. Lovely poem, Cat!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claudine. I think this poem was the offspring of a dream. I woke up and thought, that would make a great poem. :)
