Poem Title:
Poem
And personally, humbly, I have been blessed I feel to have escaped its snares.... Its blinding, stealing, restrictive chains....A quagmire of its intent! For I have been given the light of true knowledge I believe And a wisdom found, between their words-for no longer do I view, nor do I hold This wisdom of man, as of any great importance unto myself Not in this world, nor even within myself-for what, do I really know!? What, could I ever know, that would mean anything, except, this...."Jesus Christ Crucified" Everything else unto me, if not balanced and put into true perspective, in regards To everlasting life....Is mere folly, and essentially, dangerous terrain!? For to pursue the material, the tangible, the temporal.... Holds no wisdom or knowledge to me at all! And the monetary things within this place Along, with all the fame, and all the glory, could not be hung as a price Even, upon one soul! This world, is no more than a passing wind for me now An empire of dust~An epilogue, of a story that once was! And to cast myself, ever again In pursuit of these things, would be like unto me, as entangling myself Within a mountainous web and ocean, of darkened quicksand-a maze as big as a galaxy And then, trying to get, swim, and find, my foolish way out!? And so, as I think of Freud, Einstein, Aristotle and Michelangelo Lives, passages, time, the universe, ultimate essence, and, mere shadows.... The world, myself, "Life!" Here and now, then and there, "Forever?" I watch myself, I train myself, I search myself, I look, for, "God," everyday! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ Always ~
