    How can one explain
    something so painful
    but, yet so wonderful
    at the same time
    that is where I exist
    or better yet not exist
    the part of me
    that was the old me
    is now the true me
    I died to the flesh
    to become alive in the Spirit
    like a log burning within a flame
    the embers smoldered away
    it’s impurities
    to reveal the woods true beauty
    therefore.. don’t cry for me.. rejoice
    for I am free and over flowing
    with the most powerful of love
    it’s not me who remains, but
    God's Spirit who dwells in me.

      In recent history not many poems have been inspired by St. John of the Cross, so it is nice to see this done which again attempts to explain what is, at bottom, ineffable. nicely done ... bravo ... bravo ... bravo ... michael

      Oh, my, this is absolutely beautiful. I can understand what you mean as I have experienced that myself back then. I especially loved these lines, "like log burning within a flame the embers smoldered away it’s impurities" -- it means something wonderful like you've been purified from your "old self" and renewed into your "new self".

    I'm enchanted with this piece.
    Well-written.

    Debbie.

      What a great write this is from you. True thoughts from within are somewhat rare these days.

    This is excellent.

    Frank.
