A hand reached out from heaven,
It strove to touch my head;
Then I was just eleven
And I ducked and turned and fled.

HI. I just read your poem. It made me remember Wordsworth's poem Immortality Ode and also the myth of Tiresias. There was a flow of growing up in the poem that i liked. Best wishes
I love spiritual poetry, and a lot of my poetry is soaked with spirituality. What better way to acknowledge a higher power! You've done a great job! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

A powerfully and personally descriptive illustration that throughout life we have choices to make. To walk in the light, or choose the darker path. He who created light knows that our fulfillment can only ever be found in the light, and He also knows what types of serpents hide in the darkness. Well done, Tan. Another fine poem. NB :)
Wonderful write. The serpent is always there ready to strike at any age. God hand is upon us, Enjoyed it.
This poem appeals to both religious believers and non-believers. For is all love not a hand reaching out from heaven, no matter our age, or from whom it comes? It certainly can be construed that way, and I like that. Love is the great healer that we all need throughout life. Beautiful poem.
The struggles of live the hand that reaches to save. A wonderful write. Patricia
The flow was very very good with lots of imagery shown within your words a powerful poem. cecil
I love this one, Tan. You have a real talent. Please rediscover your Muse and give us some more. Love Eve x
I really enjoyed this Tan. I love how it shows the struggle you dealt with from beginning to end........very nice poem! Sincerely, Mary
This has a nice flow to it Tan. I will look at more of your work, despite no bio! lol 10 from Tai, getting a little more particular on who she gives her time too!
There's a lot of character to this poem. I like the meter, it is done well. One thing to make it perfect. Change 'Were the serpents coil...' to 'Where the serpents coil.. Just a friendly suggestion. A great poem.
A good poem, good content, good flow, a pleasure to read: -))
we've all needed a saving grace at some point in our lives..... bravo sweetheart
Dear Tan This is brilliant! I especailly liked the last two verses. Holds images of inner conflict then resoloution. Your A Star.Love Duncan
Very dramatically written, Tan, the situation of being imprisoned and caught into something does not want to be, and yet be freed from it by celestial hand. Very beautiful. THanks for sharing. Please keep on writing.
