Poem Title: When Earthly Pens Embrace the Beams of Heaven’s Grace
Summary: This 16-line, two-stanza poem in iambic pentameter with an ABABCCDD rhyme scheme celebrates poets transcending their mortal limits to embrace Christ’s eternal truths. Their words, ignited by divine fire, shine as a beacon, guiding souls and enduring forever in praise of Christ. The Shakespearean tone and imagery of light, fire, and ascent evoke a devotional, triumphant arc.

When poets’ pens cast off their mortal frame,
The fleeting self, a mist that clouds the eye,
To seek the boundless truths of Christ’s acclaim,
Whose radiant beams through endless ages fly—
Their words, once dim, now catch a sacred fire,
A spark divine from heaven’s glowing core,
And blazing bright, they climb the soul’s desire,
To sing the beams of heaven’s boundless grace.

Their verses, woven from this holy light,
Endure beyond the bounds of earthly time,
A beacon gleaming through the soul’s dark night,
To guide the lost where sacred hopes may climb.
No storm can dim their everlasting flame,
Nor death’s cold hand their fervor e’er restrain,
For in His truth their words forever reign,
And echo still in Christ’s eternal name.

My heart, the pen of a ready flower, blooms,
Its ink of grace from Christ’s eternal spring,
Each petal scrawls His love in fragrant rooms,
To bid the soul with heavenly anthems sing.

Through golden glades where morning’s radiance streams,
The poet’s verse in radiant hues is cast,
Like dewdrops bright, it sparkles in His beams,
And weaves His truth to hearts that wander fast.

No earthly shade can still this sacred art,
Its roots in Christ, the ever-living Vine,
With fervent zeal, it kindles every heart,
To shine as stars where hope and mercy twine.

O poets pure, your floral heart’s sweet call,
Proclaims His glory, lifting one and all.

Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the Death of His Faithful Saints, Ascending to Eternal Glory by Debbie Harris

To all those who have lost someone they love!

The sonnet, titled Precious in the Sight of the Lord is the Death of His Faithful Saints, Ascending to Eternal Glory, inspired by Psalm 116:15 (KJV) (“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints”), vividly portrays the serene and glorious transition of a saint’s soul from earth to heaven. It uses rich imagery to depict their journey: morning light on sapphire hills, golden beams, and diamond-dappled streams in the first quatrain; a twilight scene with crimson clouds like angels’ wings and starlit gates in the second; and a heavenly realm free of sorrow, filled with crystal anthems and eternal light in the third. The couplet celebrates the saints’ ascent, embraced by divine love in a radiant sky. The poem conveys a sense of peace, reverence, and divine joy at the moment of a saint’s death.

Through amber mists, where dawn’s first rays unfold,
The saint’s last steps trace paths of shimmering dew,
O’er velvet fields where emerald blades enfold,
Their soul takes flight beneath a vault of blue.

In twilight’s glow, with rose and gold entwined,
Soft clouds like cherubs’ wings in silence soar,
The chains of earth, once heavy, now unbind,
As heaven’s pearl gates gleam on yonder shore.

No shadowed vale, no storm’s foreboding cry,
Can veil the radiance of their sacred rest,
In crystal halls where starry anthems fly,
They dwell in peace, by divine love caressed.

O hallowed sight, their spirits rise above,
Enrobed in light, within God’s boundless love.

Revelation 21:23: The Heavenly City Bathed in the Glory of the Lamb by Debbie Harris

09 Saturday Aug 2025

Posted by Debbie Harris in Christian Poetry

Revelation 21:23 (KJV)


And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.

The sonnet, inspired by Revelation 21:23, depicts the divine splendor of the heavenly city illuminated by God’s glory and the Lamb, needing no sun or moon. It portrays a radiant, eternal scene with golden streets, pearl gates, and crystal rivers, free from shadows or darkness. The poem celebrates the boundless beauty of this divine realm, where hope and love flourish, culminating in the joy of beholding Christ’s face and living in His everlasting light.

No sun shall rise, no moon shall cast its gleam,
Yet radiant light from God’s own throne shall pour.
The Lamb, the lamp, fulfills the heart’s deep dream,
His brilliance gilds the city evermore.
No shadows fall where crystal rivers flow,
No darkness dares to dim the streets of gold.
Each gate of pearl, with heaven’s splendor aglow,
Reflects the joy that never shall grow old.
Oh, beauty boundless, woven by His hand,
Where jasper walls and sapphire skies converge.
The faithful walk in light no night can strand,
Their souls alight where hope and love emerge.
What day awaits, when Christ’s own face we see,
His glory reigns, our hearts forever free.
