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!

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. Charles

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

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

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

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
