Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By Paul Callus--Malta and Olive E. Guillermo--Philippines

Chariot of  Fire
(Villanelle)

By Paul Callus and Olive E. Guillermo

I stand in silence and behold the sight,
staring in wonder, waiting for thunder.
A chariot of fire travels through the night.

The white-winged horses gallop in full flight
pulling at the reins; flowing are their manes
I stand in silence and behold the sight.

Where are they going? There’s a shining light
leading all the way, so they will not stray.
A chariot of fire travels through the night

amidst the heaven where in pure delight
resides the Master, the sweetest lover,
I stand in silence and behold the sight;

Blessings whisked to amble slowly with plight;
heartbeats race to sway, courage on display.
A chariot of fire travels through the night

armoured by God’s spirit. They ride like knights
fearless from pain; victory, their peak gain.
I stand in silence and behold the sight;
a chariot of fire travels through the night.

    Thank you, Isha Wagner, for the following--

    I find this poem enigmatic. Beautiful words, superb imagery, great imagination at work here. It's always said, is it not, that poetry is not written to be understood but to convey mystery, beauty and wonder and this poem does exactly that. Congratulations to the writers.

    Yours sincerely
    Isha Wagner
