All That Heaven Enfolds

By Paul McCann

 

Been up , been down , been kicked around .

Reviewed , renewed . Retired , rewired ,

Inspired . Enforced Depressed Divorced .

 

Resigned , relapsed . Seen time  fly past

After all this , I can’t dismiss ,

As I crawled  out and looked about

and from beyond all the rubble,

and the trouble , I was still happy being me  .

 

Moved out , moved on . Rehoused , reborn .

Sworn in ,  worn out .

Eyes shut , wised up . Times come , I’m done .

 

I’ve really shook how much it took ,

to find the switch that turns all this

darkness to  light and the insight  ,  

that comes from bits of life’s fragments

stitched up in time from  firmaments

into garments of gold that shine .

All that heaven enfolds is mine .

 

..

This poem is a perfect example of life's learning experienced. It spoke to me in so many ways of my own life, how my journey got me happily to where I am today.

Thank you for sharing.

Great little turns of phrase that convey something really positive.

And I reckon there's a good country music song in these words.

The last line is truly beautiful, and the thought of sewing firmaments. "I was still happy being me" is a wonderful thing to be. A great message, and I like the tumult leading to your bright peace at the end

I love the wisdom of your kind comment here Di ,

The journey through the struggle and trouble of lifes hardships moulds our character .

The furnace of our battles tests the soul until it shines .

As they say no pain no gain .

Thank you Di for this comment .

Kind regards

Paul
