Born Then, Now and Or Again

Maverick Free Verse

~Born after the flesh, orientation toward cash
Orientation toward Spirit, heavens are always near it
That which one loves, covers one like a glove
Orientations make clear, toward it one will always steer
One’s orientation always manifests as one’s connotations
and by it Love or greed take a vacation

~A awesome retreat, is an end as a rest complete 
while if lust be thrust, in it one will trust
 
~If Love be one’s glove, one trusts in heavenly Dove
Meditate and orientate, Love a wait’s one’s fate
to open or close one’s sacred gate
Born then, now and again 
a waits Love at one’s begin, patiently at one’s end

~Born after the flesh, orientation toward cash
like a stock market’s eventual crash
Connotation as vacations  are temporal creations
illusionary information, fleshly concepts of creation  
                                                                           Selah!

Charles Henderson March 12, 2011 at 6:51 PM A good write John. Thanks for supporting my poems. We all should be aware that too much beef spoils the broth and worshiping the broth maker sometimes requires definable explantions, unless it is the devine chef. It speaks well that you remind us.

Audrey Haick March 11, 2011 at 12:17 AM Hi John, This holds truth if we are really honest with ourselves. So many distractions when living outside the spirit. Absolutely great write. God bless, always. Love, Audrey

Diane Locksley March 10, 2011 at 3:56 PM I'm learning a lot reading your poetry John. Maybe I should give up my second job and just go live in a cave. I'm tired of worrying about money all the time. As you explain there are more important things in life and this hectic life is getting old. Best to you, Diane

Andrea Dietrich March 10, 2011 at 1:39 PM I enjoyed Sara's comment below. I hope she has seen your blog by now! This is your model for the contest. Great message poem, john. and for me, it's not necessarily money that is the root of all evil. We NEED money. I would say LOVE of money is one of the roots of evil! Luv, Andrea

Sara Kendrick March 10, 2011 at 11:34 AM Good one that you have penned...Last stanza "The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil"...If for a contest, reads like winning material..Thanks for stopping by and letting me know that I placed in a contest..Sara

Carolyn Devonshire March 10, 2011 at 10:16 AM It's interesting how much some people value material wealth while others see something far more meaningful in spiritual qualities, John. I especially like the analogy of vacations as "temporal creations." Excellent verse, my friend. Thank you for giving us this fine example for your new contest. Love, Carolyn
