they gathered to celebrate
no longer tethered to this earthly life
he had worn his crown well
it was tattered and torn
was he in a loft above them -he would have scoffed
It reads as a different meaning to me. Were sounds like if her were there he would be scoffing. Was is more of him scoffing at the idea that there even is a loft above them.
That scoff raises questions! I wonder why he would react in such a way? Is he amused? Disappointed? I like the bit of mystery behind it. Thank you for linking up. Voting is now active so be sure to come back!
Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the shining stars to you. Deep peace of the gentle night to you. Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Bonnie. She brings me so much joy. My first snow day of the year! I work at a Montessori school and we are getting our first big snow storm of the year so.... SNOW DAY!! I made my own hummus last weekend. It was delicious. I added a little bit of turmeric along with the chickpeas, lemon, tahini, and garlic.

Some of the windows have been replaced but there are a few old leaded windows that are old and beautiful and the light is so soft that I am always taking pictures. This is an sweet old table that she picked up in her travels. She put some vintage Christmas ornaments in a terra cotta pot and next to that is a lemon tree plant. The whole thing sits under her kitchen windows. So pretty. My husband and I went to her house on Christmas morning. She served us delicious French toast and mimosas. ~ A friend of mine flew over Marblehead on her way home from vacation and had the wherewithal to take a photo. It made me think of Oh Little Town of Bethlehem. This year I was able to purchase a poinsettia through my church in honor of my mother. It was comforting to know that she was represented during the Christmas Eve Mass. I had a chance to rearrange the living room a little bit. I
Very nice....'were' also fits well instead of 'was' perhaps..

Deleteno longer tethered to his earthly life - beautiful words! Loved the entry.
ReplyDeleteLovely words - no longer tethered to his earthly life...
ReplyDeleteThink you need to use the exact word i.e 'tether' not 'tethered'. Sorry for being a pain!
ReplyDeletethanks for letting me know.
DeleteThis is great work.
ReplyDeleteThe crown was tethered and torn. Poor person . nice read.
ReplyDeleteI liked the 'no longer tethered to this earthly life' line, too. It is both liberating, and sad at the same time.
ReplyDeletegood use of the English language...
