Holy Art

Like skipping stones on red river in heart Let it be known love of God is holy art No two creations will be the same Some love with laughter others love with rain The laughter is the joy of the Lord Easy to breathe in hard to avoid The tears so teal tall and true can be from joy but from pain too. God is great, He assigns a muse We make mistakes but God never leaves you Could even be God is a she God is bigger than gender identities What if God in the wildest of hopes Sent many in white wisdom cloaked He sent them to encourage humans Not at all a worry as the color of skin God did not make mistakes Even loves the ones who love to hate If God is art of heart Be careful what you create there is not dark What if you found light in the dark Could be Christ won your heart Or could be in Muhammad or in Buddha you took flight Winging your mind and soul to new heights Musings on faith is there only one way To cross the dark in the light of day If love is art in many forms created How you love the creator and if you do may be fated.

The first part a piece of art, beautiful. But when you got to gender Identity. Your muse deserted you.

Beautiful message in our poem and all art is supposed to be beautiful, but some can be demonic sadly... as good and evil reside in this world hand in hand...

True. But God's love reigns supreme. For me anyway. Hugs Thanks for your comment Silent One!

Splendid, Karen. Not easy to write about God's infinite love. We do not love God, He loves us and we return His love. Great spiritual poem. Blessing.

I loved this poem about God and its allusion to other 'wisdom' leaders. Truly, God is forgiving and offers us a muse many times...in many areas of our lives. Beautifully done, Karen. Enjoy your day, Saa
