Unseeking Seeker Poet Rhyme

Be Still To Know God

in symbols and metaphors
we search for hidden meanings
resonating with scent predetermined 
and thereby the stated truth
is by mind undermined

weak and unstable
heart searches for a crutch
relying upon a this or that holy book
negating soul’s light aglow within
God hopes that we will look

accustomed to striving
to attain a materialistic goal
we have now forgotten how to be still
and are so enslaved by thought
we fear to surrender will

would we traumatise
the child to who we give birth
why then believe in the wrath of God
‘tis a control game pastors play
hypnotised, we applaud

on inquiring ‘who am I’
we find we’re living light eternal
and organic form is an earth interface
so recognising the truth as it is 
behold God face to face

Yann Rolland August 18, 2023 at 11:28 PM now, i undertand your name, " seeker." this is enlightning an deep, i think looking at God, "face to face" is impossible, but i am surely wrong thanks for sharing excellency Unseeking Seeker August 19, 2023 at 3:27 AM Yes, you are wrong, yann. We can look at God face to face, just as a child looks at his father
