Notes About The Poem

 

Bilocation Poetry Contest

Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker

Bilocation

I am in my body
While floating above
A vessel for hate
Who chooses to love

A traveler of sorts
Roaming the earth
A pilgrim from the stars
who came here by birth 

Suffering is temporary
A lesson to learn
It’s for God’s Kingdom
I solemnly yearn

I am not merely
Just what you see
Not trapped in this body
I know my destiny 

Look in my eyes
Travel with me there
To a city of angels
Devoid of despair.

Don Iannone Date: 3/13/2024 7:17:00 AM Richard, Indeed, congratulations. Poems are fun to play with. Your poem makes me think of Cain and Abel as a reflection of the ongoing battle between these two aspects of one's psyche—the earthly, flawed Cain and the spiritual, aspiring Abel—as they navigate the complexities of existence and strive towards a state of harmony and fulfillment. Which one gets into Heaven? Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 3/13/2024 10:11:00 AM An apt observation. Thanks for giving it a read.
