Compare and Contrast

"Into Eternity
  Where all is one
   There crept a tiny mad idea
    At which the Son of God
     Remembered not to laugh"
 - ACIM

 Beckon fraternity
  As I have none
   They leapt into my sacred shadow
     The even and the odd
       Revered on my behalf
 - For Him



(ACIM stands for A Course in Miracles which is written as an epic poem in iambic pentameter 
style by a woman named Helen Schucman in 1976. Strictly speaking she scribed it but that's 
been debated).

Please read "House of Mirrors" in place of 'Obstinate Heart' in my comments. Regret typing error. Mohammad

A good write. I read it with interest. Thanks for your comments on my poem Obstinate Heart. Spectator stands for audience. -Mohammad

A Course in Miracles. It's a book. Ask me who wrote it...
