something woke me up this morning -------------------------------------------
They killed God
when they put the rope around his neck
defined Him as a book of rules
to force our wills into submission
and never finds our hearts.
so I blink and say
that maybe we should keep the Christian myth
there would be more for the rest of us
because we choose to live
no, God isn't dead and neither is She
creation does not stop
in a gallery you will see
paintings by the Master
every song written
that declares freedom
is an anthem
and God is there
in the next poem
you are writing.
I want a lover
who can close my eyes
with a kiss
where magic is a fog
that surrounds us
from the folly of believing
we might tame Her.
Hm... This piece speaks volumes for me. Maybe I take some of your writing to literally but you're alluding here to something I've seen myself. This is another good poem from you, it made me stop and think. Keep writing!
Nancy
I havent been to your page in a while and this write reminded me of the quality poetry Ive been missing for far too long
This write actually reminded me of my own life a lot
I have always told people who were or are depressed that all they have to do is look at the Beauty of the Earth and all her blessings to see the true meaning of life
How one can see the Beauty of Nature and the Beauty of life ans still deny their is a God is beyond comprehension
EXCELLENT WORK NANCY!!!
Im sorry I was away for so long but its Great talent like yours that keeps me coming back
God Bless

ah yes, Nan, we find God everywhere. i've been having a bit of a spiritual renewal these days, and this was good to read for me right now. i've been actually feeling peace, peace in my life, and i know it comes from deep inside, in my spirit and soul that is touched by the God of my understanding. i did a open reading last night, and it felt so freeing. i plan to do it more and more!!
as for taming Her, you are correct in the idea of it being a folly. man tries to tame nature, tries to put God and the Goddeses in a box. it nevers works.
tame not
the wild creature,
let her be
on wings
skyward
watch soaring
with tear-filled eyes
as she leaves you
for a time
let not
the sparrow's flight
sorrow you
joyfill your heart,
for spirit taking wing
strengthens love
for you, Nan. it's always a pleasure and a learning experience reading your work. what a gift you have for expressing the depths of a soul living life to its fullest everyday.
