The Power

.

That we are created

That we are related

.

To the force

And the power

.

Of love

Who I see

.

In the depths

Of the mystery

.

Of the universe

And the petals

.

Of a delicate

Single wild flower.

.

Humanity the Spirit Animal

.

Humanity

The spirit animal

.

Body

Physicality

.

Soul

And spirituality

.

Wrestling

With good and evil

.

Journeying

Through love and time

.

All these ways

I see are my

.

Humanity

A spirit animal.

.

Learning Discernment

.

Each spirit

A source

.

Of evil

As much as good

.

Learning discernment

Of soul’s sins

.

How I could

Both destroy and create

.

Hurt and heal

On the spiritual way.

.

Soul’s Remorse

.

When I consider

The things

.

That I have done

To others’ harm

.

I feel

The chill

.

Of soul’s remorse

My heart begins to warm

.

Because of course

So many times

.

I hid behind

An ignorant excuse

.

And now I see

That all was done

.

Deliberately

I am cut down

.

To size

And seek again

.

A greater

Better source.

.

Everywhere Quietly Furled

.

Let the word

Find you

.

Let him open

Your inner world

.

Who is

From the beginning

.

And everywhere quietly

Furled.

.

A Gracious Start

Considering the sins

Of angels

.

Of Adam

Of anyone

.

Be led

In understanding

.

Of the violence

Of pride

.

The brittle chill

Of arrogance

.

Of the hardening

Heart

.

And into fresh repentance

Make a gracious start.

Amongst the Trees

To walk

Amongst the trees

.

Is to feel

Their deeper meaning

.

Rooted

In the past

.

They branch

Proliferating

.

Their connections

With the light.

.

Creating Beauty In Each Life

.

Of the many

Nativity scenes

.

None captures

This holy spirit

.

Of love better

Than the uncreated

.

Artistry

Of God

.

Creating beauty

In each life.

To Articulate The Inexpressible

.

To articulate

The inexpressible

.

Mystery of darkness

And light

.

Would be more

Than the wise

.

Or prophets

Could ever do

.

Yet wonder remains

Which teaches acceptance

.

Above

All other things

.

Except silence

And love.
