The Face of God
I saw it when
the Moon
kissed the Sun.
The two fell silent,
devoted to each other
in divine bliss.
And the Earth
grew cool and dark,
as if praying in a holy room.
And I, I saw the Face of God -
glorified and dignified,
adorned within a halo
as the stars genuflected across the sky,
one by one passing through this sacred veil.
Conflicts stopped.
Civilizations quieted.
Bird and beast grew still.
And for a few moments, all were forgiven.
It had to be the Face of God -
nothing else could hold so much love.

Hello, William,
Through the years, my spiritualism has evolved and changed and the understanding of God has taken on a very unique, personal meaning and feeling for me. The solar eclipse truly choked me up... So superior and amazingly extraordinary. A very sacred experience!
Thank you so much for reading! I appreciate your comments!
