Just shy of heaven

Just shy of heaven,
I'll meet your embrace;
Who parted the waters
Within sight of your face.

Incalculable word,
Bestirring your creation;
The first near breath
Of your vast ideation.

In white flames of matter,
Your name echoes still,
And vast ranks of angels
Are turning your mills.

Everything imagined
Has to exist,
Because of his potent
And loving first kiss.

Sweeps the reader up in the words like a melodious hymn, and I love the concluding stanza. :)

Powerful and impressionable piece. Your wording always makes a reader see things a little more clearer.

Patti...this piece is wonderful....I love the effective way in which you have used shorter lines to pack a punch. Super writing as usual
