Tidal Waves Poem by Valsa George
Tidal Waves
In dazzled astonishment
She looked up from her reverie
As she heard the flap of wings overhead
And saw the flash of laser beams in her dim lit room
Before her, stood a winged seraph
A radiant silhouette with such gentleness and grace
As never beholden on any human face
With its hands raised in benediction,
It saluted Mary and said
“Blessed art thou amongst women…
……………………………………
The rest she heard in a trance.
Unable to comprehend what was said,
The girl looked up nonplussed.
Again it said, “The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee
And a son shall be born of thee
Whom you shall call Jesus”
In that nanosecond of a new revelation
Did Mary’s world shatter like glassware
Or did her virgin womb thrill with new life
Did she swim in the waters of joyful tidings?
Or gyrate in the sweeping swirl of tidal waves
For the girl already espoused to a man
In whose dreams his comely form had begun
Flitting in and out
Was it a moment of silent ravishment?
Or of stupefied bewilderment
Did a dagger cut through her heart?
Or did her soul take to wings in flight? ? ?
Dinesh Sir comments, I couldnt control laughing. Such a beautiful comments. Its really a Tidal Waves swinging in her mind. As Kee Thampi has said God is beyong all. Beautiful and different write again from you Valsa. Loved it.
From our real world we know what......we have lot of experience............ No wonder to Dinesh.... A radiant silhouette with such gentleness and grace As never beholden on any human face With its hands raised in benediction, It saluted Mary and said “Blessed art thou amongst women… but God is beyond all, it is celestial I love it
I love the great imagery and the brilliant expression of such sensitivity of Mary's wonderful gift from God!
It’s a few years old but always appropriate for December, or anytime! Did they HAVE laser beams then? Or is there about to be a “Second Coming”? ? Some favorite lines: “She looked up from her reverie As she heard the flap of wings overhead And saw the flash of laser beams in her dim lit room Before her, stood a winged seraph A radiant silhouette with such gentleness and grace” [I’d say “Holy Shit! ”] And more favorites: “Did Mary’s world shatter like glassware Or did her virgin womb thrill with new life Did she swim in the waters of joyful tidings? Or gyrate in the sweeping swirl of tidal waves” I guess we can only GUESS! Until a copy of Mary’s Diary shows up. The movie rights would probably cost billions! This beauty goes to MyPoemList and to Section A of December 2016’s showcase. Perhaps it could be used every x-mas showcase IF …………..there are more! Thanks for digging through your poem archives for this. Now (for you) to paint a picture of the scene! Bri :)
As ever you have been analytic and pleasantly humorous in your evaluation of my poem. Thank you Bri for including it in your December show case and allowing it a resurrection! I am honored by sending it to your favorite poem list!
This is exactly narrated in the same way in Holy Quran, What a lovely poem. I return 10 out 25 that I earned by reading this poem.
You could not have expressed this poem so poignantly and with such great enthusiasm. Jesus born of a virgin is the greatest story ever told. Mary must have been in a state of mind that is indescribable. One has to wonder and believe since we were not there but we know that Jesus is here! An excellent write and Merry Christmas to all!
World never stopped to think what Mary felt. Your skill and sensitivity brought her emotions and feelings alive. Beautiful read. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful poem. Mary must have fallen into whirl of tidal waves. Most of us don't think about it. A young women's thought and emotions expressed so well. Thanks for sharing Valsa.
