Notes About The Poem
What happened after poetry contest Sponsored by Nette Onclaud July2025

After I Repented

I began to coalesce light, shadow became solid leaving my past of regrets forgiveness, all sins blotted a new creature made of light now seen fully, I am loved I am precious in His sight

Enjoyed reading this so very much. Imagine if all people were aware that their truth is the same golden truth enfolding in the last two lines. If all God's children greeted the morn with, 'I am love, made from love to witness, share and grow love.' I like focusing my mental and spiritual energies on manifesting such, but AI has really rendered me so gray that I'm struggling w/ acceptance. Uh, oh, talked too much again. A poem I embrace, Crystol. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I don't know if I was more shocked or saddened in the 80s when cloning became a reality and no one seemed to think #1 priority is who/how/ creates the soul. I felt like no one actually believed the famous poem line, 'only God can make a tree' In my core I know we are closer to our authenticity in simple cabins rather than mansions, in fields rather than on concrete, uniting in truth to make the world as God has long lovingly, patiently urged His children to do, and ignorance keeps taking us moving off course. Now, we are handing humanity to AI for its growth as AI sees fit. I'm sure God knew/knows and as always, His omniwisdom has/will .. only He can finish my sentence. There are days when the best I can do is behold the Christ in people while praying they soon realize their divine I Am & behold such in themself. All this and more mankind stupid tricks sometimes turn me gray and I withdraw to absorb. MY TRUTH, right here, in this box!

Can never have too much CayCay! I try to focus on that positivity as well. Tell me more of what you mean about AI causing you to struggle... in what way? I'm curious. Thanks for your encouraging words! Xo

Congratulations Crystol on this heartening poem - Sara was right! It's interesting to see what different folks saw in this picture - like an inkblot.
