Fiḍál (Grace), 8 Raḥmat (Mercy) 177 B.E. Tuesday, June 30, 2020 Day 30 entry for "The Bard's Hall Contest"  .The "Blogging Circle of Friends " prompt for Day 2783: "People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within." ~ Elisabeth Kubler-Ross ~ Let this quote inspire your blog entry.This quote explains why stained glass windows inspire me. I've written several short poems about the stained glass windows I've seen in Las Vegas. The following poems were written sometime 149 B.E. (After March 21, 1993 before March 21, 1994) Stained Glass Curtains was inspired by meditating on God's ancient covenant, which each Manifestation renews. On the Day of Resurrection was inspired by walking past a Christian church during the day and seeing the darkness of the stained glass images. The others are descriptions of windows seen from the inside. I visited these Houses of Worship when I was attending Interfaith discussions. I think I may have had longer poem in mind, or intended using them in some other way. On the Day of Resurrection By day the dark collage of colored glass Looks hopeless on a world illuminated by the sun Those going past see only darkness in the panes That shown so bright and colorful by night. Stained Glass Dawn: A Restaurant Window Stained glass forest glows with the morning light. Brown limbs with green and yellow leaves stand out against a sky of red and brown. Stained Glass Window In a Latter Day Saint Chapel Stained glass flower with twenty yellow leaf-shaped petals: the bottom of each petal is blue, there are red buds between each petal, and the sections of the red-yellow-blue flowers are separated by black lines. Stained Glass Window In a Protestant church The stained glass cross glows bright in the sunset, and divides the sunlight into rainbow colors; the cross' central orb shines yellow and white, the four arms of colored glass glow yellow, orange, and purple. Stained Glass Window In a Jewish Temple The twenty-seven sections--panes--on each side of the center form a fan-like half circle; the center portion, of the window, is wood and resembles a book; at the top center of the book two hands hold; there are symbols--characters--on the book and at the bottom of the "fan" are more symbols or letter: House of prayer, House of study, House of assembly, Eternal light. Stained Glass Curtains Stained glass curtains Separate into granite chambers The Books of God Stained glass curtains Isolate in the own chapels Faith's Children Stain glass curtains Shatter as the echoes of an unseen power Reverberates through stone corridors Stained glass curtains Shatter uniting in a single covenant The Books of God Stained Glass Window In a Catholic Church The window is round, with a women wearing a crown, the women is Mary, the Blessed Mother, behind and above her from left to right is Jesus, the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, and God the Father. |
