GLIMPSE OF PARADISE
Green woods wave, welcoming a friend,
Fresh leaves pattern and skip:
Spring lambs in shades of autumn,
Roses charm adventurous eyes.
The sea, blue and penetrating,
Grips sight in a vision,
Drifting white fringes
Foaming at its hem.
White sails hoisted aloft,
Play games with gawking gulls,
And the arched sky rules in royal blue
High overhead in magnificent splendour,
Over drifts of softly-blown clouds.
A warm glimpse of Paradise,
Meets eyes freshly accustomed
To autumnal greys and glooms.
Speeding across the coast,
Every hairpin spin and turn exposes
Olive-crowned cliffs and mountain peaks.
A sunshiny city on a hill bursts gaiety into vision,
Eyeing the serene, sunlit shore, with blessings galore.

PROFILE: MIRIAM JACOB
I am a Christian Poet and Writer. I write Christian Poetry for the glory of God. As a diamond reflects the dazzling rays of the sun, our lives reflect the radiant glory of the true Light of the world, Jesus Christ. It takes divine cutting and pruning to shape our lives into brightly-glowing lamps fit for the King of Glory to shine His Light into. We are filled with God's Spirit when we yield ourselves wholeheartedly to God.
At the start of my academic education, I yielded my life to the Lord Jesus Christ. The light of His love filled my heart. After obtaining a Masters Degree in English Literature, I dedicated my life to writing Christian Poetry for the glory of God.
I have a Christian Website Ministry. "Miriam's Christian Ministry" is dedicated to God, comprising of an association of the best authors, poets, graphics designers and artists on the World Wide Web, as well as people from all spheres of life. We publish Christian articles, poems, graphics and paintings to glorify God.
I have lived in many exotic places on earth. I was born in one continent, grew up there, and migrated to another continent to pursue my academic education. I visited two other continents on vacation. The world in my view is quite a small place. In the course of my wide and extended travels across the globe, spanning two decades, I got the delightful opportunity to be a part of an ever-changing scenario. I try my best to portray the rich and varied pictures, indelibly impressed in my mind, as a result of my travels across the world, in my articles and poetry.
