This reads like a song of praise for Him....so beautiful MaryAnne..how do you come up with words like these?

O' torch of dawn breathe
the essence of love
across aging highlands
of wandering souls.

Woooo-ooooo girl, you rock!

God bless:)

5/5 Ingrid

You have such a unique imagination -- golden blood was one of the images that really stood out to me. There were many more though. Really well done, truly its nice to see something original and not dull and boring. Keep it up!! (:

You have a talent many on her could only dream of, MaryAnne. Don't let the little people get under your skin with their petty downvoting crap;)

You are on of THE most talented young poets on this site..and far better than the ones who have access to the downvote-button on here.

YOU ROCK GIRL !!

I think it's great that you can braid your religion & beliefs into the beauty of nature. Torch of dawn, golden blood, sunlight angels, fireflies, blinding atmosphere - you sure portray a brilliantly blazing morning sun!
"Arouse candlelight
atop misty mountains
so winding tunnels
will discern a new hope." The glorious dawn awakens the gloomiest of souls & those who have lost their footing are given renewed hope.
"Dance with flames" - It's interesting that you would choose these words as a vessel of God. I often associate flames & fire not with Heaven, but with Hell. However, I think you do well to turn fire - the powerful and fierce - into something holy rather than evil.
Good write.
