as my Lord God
 in His own time
  draws nearer
  incrementally
 strengthening
 building me up
 fashioning me
  in His image
  it baffles me
    imagining
       how
         I

                  .

                  .
 
                  .

         I
       will
    receive
 Him on that
 glorious day
 when His tip
touches mine
how to thank
 and worship
 a Being both
 superior and
identical to me

hi tom

cheers

Tom,
I love this one to death - excuse the pun ;)

I do alot of typography at my day job and would love to make an image out of this one, just for fun, of course.

Do let me know if you're interested.
Otherwise,
Big thanks,
Ginny

James, I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and Ginny, of course, I'm delighted if you make an image, and curious.
Wanted to have this hanging from the top of the box and seated on the bottom, but when I did that, the stupid photo knocked the top lines out of alignment. -Tom

Concretes are tough for me, as the form sometimes seems forced.  Here, this is not the case.  It brings so many layers - reflection, famous artwork (Sistene Chapel Creation Panel), torture device (iron maiden spikes), ellipsis... great execution.  RLR

thanks, RLR, for such rich reading. Tom

Great concept and a killer ending, Tom

God as an icicle - great thought, Tom. Love it.

Yes! You caught me! Didn't Freud say "Sometimes a stalagmite is just a condom."

Tom,

the beauty is the language and, for me,
the visuals of two bullets rushing towards
each other. 

a violence of affection
or religion
depending on the reader. 

well done!

Thank you, sir.
There are so many benefits to being a bad artist!

Reminds me of "Easter Wings" by George Herbbert.  Belongs in Submit, or do you think otherwise?

Thank you, Rick. I will submit it soon. I'm still thinking and listening, about the shape. Tom
