“Every atom every cell” this concept has been on my mind lately. How detailed and thorough redemption is — down to the atom. Thank you for sharing this 🩵

What a beautiful painting, thank you for introducing it to us! The poem is beautiful too—your rhyme is lovely! I love getting to see when poets branch out of their typical forms. I especially love the "every atom / every cell" line. And very happy birthday!

Rosa, your ekphrastic poem is perfect; I'm glad you went looking for inspiration--this line especially resonated with me:

"Such a holy mission, wholly accepted,"

I notice a few plays on words-well done!
