Creation

The writer learns early-on
the dry process of wet ink…

as the Driller knows his wells,
the years of emptiness,
and worthless deeds -- 

nothing good comes
without great effort

for example, take God,
all the time and grace
that has gone into His
Man….

Man wrote the Bible so it cannot depict how God created the world. Most of the creation can only be metaphoric so that man can understand.

"We see through a glass darkly" -- attempting to define infinite continuity, using mental fragments. Still having trouble seeing up-close clearly -- in two weeks I will be able to get new glasses hopefully. And I will be able to get back into reading the wonderful poetry of others and writing some works of my own.

Thanks for this, Joe. Selfish ingrate that I am, I never think about this. Ever more and even more to be grateful for than before.

Myself as well, having to remind myself. Sometimes wrapped up in our own immediate necessities, we neglect the greater scheme of things...God's plans.

How do we quantify effort?? Some say God Does all effortlessy..Yet Genesis tells us He Rested on the seventh day..? Or is effort with God more a spiritual tiring.? You've got me searching My mind Joe.'

Hi Joe. Good point. Just my opinion, but, maybe effortlessly means that God is all powerful, therefore, nothing can obstruct His will that He does not allow....and when thinking of rest, it is not about fatigue but more about, like, the rests in music or negative space in art. Blessings my friend.

A great spiritual poem. Your reference to the Son of God made Man is fabulous.

Haven't seen you in a while, my friend. This sums up your poem eloquently: nothing good comes without great effort.

Thank you, Vijay; I miss being here. Had some eye surgery, cataract. Should be reading the fine works on Soup and contributing again soon.

A expertly written poem. It had a gentle spirituality in the verse.

Thank you, Hilda; I think we need not always hit ourselves over the head with scriptures, but also see the gentle, graceful presentation of God's Love. I hope I succeeded with this write. Blessings my friend.
