"the Human Foible Vs Godly Nature"

Man once was a sacred human species Who learned strife using earth’s forms of pieces From beastly logic of his minds own fiction Came his illusions of mind depictions As the wholesome earth quakes at the mind’s fakes Oil spills of mind’s evil deals, as minds quake One optional door left to explore, heaven From whence spills forth the Agape leaven Choose by grace your lovely persona face For mind’s face lays our earthen treasure at waste A golden treasure’s power in human hands A city treasure of heart or barren lands Agape’s golden city, or whorish pity From depth of heart is built, gold’s eternal city For Contest: The Power In Your Hands In Honor of: Carolyn Devonshire Placed #2

John, did you know studies have shown that dolphins are more likely to approach people who are smiling? Read much about these creatures and 6-year-old Cuban refugee Elian Gonzales was saved from sharks by dolphins when everyone else on the boat that sank died. There was a book named something like "Angels, Aliens and Dolphins" that showed how wise these sea mammals are...certainly more "evolved" than we are in many ways. Love, Carolyn

Good luck in Carolyn's contest..Great write that should do well...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work..I went in and tried to see if there was some way to correct that page where "Idealist" was posted and I could not correct it but if you look at the bottom of the page there is a bar that you can slide left and right with your mouse..Slide it far to the left and see if you can validate your comment...Thanks ...Sara
