Description
This is a beautiful book of original poetry by Chris Goan. It was first published in 2009 by Proost and is printed in ‘pocket book’ size to enable you to have poetry on the go.
All poetry used on Seatree pieces is by Chris, so this gives you some of the poetry all in one place. ‘Listing’ is slightly different from the other pocket size book, Where the Streams Come From, in that the poems it contains are all inspired by or riffing on or reacting to three great ‘lists’ found in the Bible; the Beatitudes, the ‘Time to’ passage in Ecclesiastes and the ‘Love is’ passage in Galatians.
If you would like the book to be signed by Chris, the author, do let us know in the notes section of the checkout. It would make a lovely gift for someone interested in spirituality.
Here is a wee sample for you to get a taste –
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are the tender ones
Who carry my mercy
In their very souls
Blessed are those who tremble
For the ones whose hearts
Have holes
For on them will always travel
Survivors
Blessed are they-
My life rafts
And blessed are you as the burdens
Become too much to bear
And the broken people
Break you
Blessed are you when you are all poured out
And now lie empty
For here
Am I
Blessed are you
Child of my heart
For through you
My blessings multiply
And My Kingdom
Is incandescent.
