Sheathed in elegance, you capture
a ruptured moment in another sphere
that hurls raptures of color, spews garnet
red, arrays of blue and purple.
They warn of Parousia.
This saintly Sabbath eve you steal
a glimpse of future promise.
You merge as one into the universal consciousness.
Orgasmic nebulae enfold you in ecstasy.
Randomly chosen words: Elegance, Parousia, Steal, Merge, Enfold, Garnet, Ruptured, Saintly, Sabbath, Nebula. In escatology, the word Parousia refers to the end-time.
I couldn’t resist posting another random word poem (Mad Lib) as suggested by Brian Miller last Saturday’s Poetics. dVerse Poets’ Pub will open its doors tomorrow at 3:00 PM EST when poets from all over the world will post a poem of their own choosing. Hope to see you there!

A very graceful and meaningful job of it, Victoria. 🙂
(I would have missed this if it weren’t for FB! I guess it does serve a purpose. LOL!)

God’s eye nebula is cool like Faces in the Clouds (cool book) and other pareidolia.
Absorption into wonder, by whatever means is wonderful! As is this poem.

Victoria, a beautiful write with some difficult words. I have been doing the Sunday whirl for almost 100 posts (I missed two due to the flu) using random words given to us by our hostess, Brenda Warren. It is not an easy task and you nailed this lady.

Some great words, woven together to form a simply great piece. If its space orientated, I am always going to enjoy, because I love anything to do with the vast universe we live in.
I went with the music last weekend, mainly becauseno one was around to offer me up some words. I would enjoy giving this mad lib a shot if you care to leave me some words to play with at some point today.
Orgasmic nebulae enfold you in ecstasy. Yes please 😉
