David Kavanagh Poet Free verse

Conscience of a God

Looking back on life, as I go forward
tripping over, what’s missing, 

Not love or loss, a divine exclusive experience,
Contentment mere blissful contentment 
baby suckling at mother’s teats,

Blind by ignorance now I see it,
aloof of desire, in symbiotic willfulness
Bridging a song, with choral angels
invisible transcendence, threads of virtuosity 

When reason feels the suns surface,
reason will be sustained, 
Infinite vacuums of containment,
everything else in nothingness of space, 

Immeasurable incomprehension 
supplied on tap, to our basic intelligence 
Surreal questionable answers only to be found,
they made no mistakes,

Impotence feeding omnipotence,
omnipresence giving out rain checks
Cooling off periods never happen,
a torrent of ice comets burnt them away,

Spare a thought for the mindful,
let the human burden, carry that cross 
Give them one atom, and our conscience
everything else belongs to the gods.

Richard Lamoureux December 13, 2020 at 7:25 AM I heard it once said that the greatest trick the devil perpetrated was to convince man that God does not exist. The result is that man placed himself upon the throne. We can see how well that had worked out for us. Another thought provoking piece. Good luck in the contest. David Kavanagh December 13, 2020 at 8:37 AM Thank you so much Richard, this one just uses god’s as metaphor, completely non religious, In my school days it was beaten into us that god does exist and loved us all, very surreal indeed, I’m agnostic now, see how that turned out, I never discount god outright, just ask questions that I would not dare ask in the past, I totally respect all peaceful people, faithful or faithless cheers David
