From Ann Glover O’Dell’s Midwifing the Soul:
In derision
critics named Monet
and others for
their daring to be
different
painting alfresco
reveling in natural light
Impressionists
and now the name
resplendent
with renown
is never
a pejorative.
And should we too
who gladly took the holy name
and breathe the air
defy the skeptics
daring to display
for all the world to see
the artist’s stamp
revealed as golden light
shining through
our eyes’ new panes of glass?
The eyes are the windows of our soul. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem. Without our eyes, we wouldn’t be able to see the beautiful things around us that God had created for us to enjoy. Have a great week, God bless you, and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
