Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Creativity

The bible 
our pure poetry

Divine voice

art -- gallery imagery 
Father’s expanding palettes of time
space infinite – 

shadows of unframed
formless canvas -- man's freedom 
to light, shape, transverse supernal grace,

we, alone, limit speed
and trajectory

bridging dark gaps, colors
dappled, dropped and splashed
faith will make mix, both consciously 
and intuitively apply:

heaping our scrapers and brushes,
the chill of the chalkboard screech
the joy of the slip and slide
the rankle of arms and hands figuring
otherwise meaningless medium

Creativity man's Adam

ligaments of my elastic being
dutifully, lovingly allowing stretch
for explore

sinewy constructs for
mental lift and taut endurance,

the unshakable frame that
holds all upright, and
makes daily challenges
superbly sculptable, while
retaining elasticity -- 

God let’s be

and we decide
if when and what…?

His unseen hand 
yet in the flaming attributes….

Silent One October 15, 2023 at 6:56 AM Another spiritual and devoted read.. Joseph P. DiMino October 15, 2023 at 7:19 AM Hi Si; thank you, my friend. Blessings.

Hiya Sharma October 15, 2023 at 5:00 AM This is a very deep write that reflects thought-provoking colours of philosophical dimension! I love your wordplay here and the conveyed meaning.. God has made us capable and gifted us a velvet-white canvas, which we can hue with as many tones as we want.. And shape the sceneries as per our vision.. And the call of intuition! Trusting our conscience! Although, indirectly we are working upon the path that He has paved for us.. For our betterment.. Really loved reading this! Joseph P. DiMino October 15, 2023 at 7:28 AM To my thinking, He loves each and everyone us so dearly. Estrangement, disconnect is all the doing of our lesser minds and not His. Abandonment is our illusion and not His construct, never separate from His creation, always awaiting our readiness thus opportunity to further awaken and uplift.

Valsa George October 12, 2023 at 8:22 PM Such deep philosophical and spiritual broodings on God given Freewill and the Word of God. God is the creator and the provider of everything. We get guidance from the Bible which is pure poetry ! We decide 'when and what'. Yes, you have indeed illustrated God's role and our own role in shaping our future and destiny ! Great thoughts dear Joe ! Joseph P. DiMino October 13, 2023 at 11:29 AM From your wise lips to the ears of humanity...blessings my friend. Your continued support and encouragement means a great deal to me. Have a blessed day!

The Situation October 11, 2023 at 7:26 PM More phyisophical it is to me. Joseph P. DiMino October 11, 2023 at 9:25 PM I guess. Thank you, TS. Blessings.

Mystic Rose Rose October 11, 2023 at 1:23 AM God let’s be and we decide if when and what…? You sum it up really well here, he leaves us a loose rope to hang ourselves with or save a life, its up to us to decide which way to go isn't it Joe :) Joseph P. DiMino October 11, 2023 at 8:47 AM From a simple, direct, easily relatable point of view: What do we hope for our children? -- Independence. To have whatever they want, hopefully making choices that are good and wholesome. To have as much as we have, or more....to be as intelligent as we are, preferably brighter and greater. What did Christ say? "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it." In my name means, whatever is loving, positive, and gracefully caring. World, Stop being our Own Victim. Joseph P. DiMino October 11, 2023 at 8:47 AM Hi Vie; thank you for such a wise and thoughtful comment. From my experience, people I have met throughout my life, thousands, only a small handful have the slightest inkling of what Free Will really is. An extensive subject to go into here...but I will say, making choices only begins to scratch the surface.... We use Will, mind, our God given Power and Right, to even create the choices. This makes a lot of people nervous...easier to say, I am helpless victim...so, God save me. But mind you, Me is the World. We must cooperate with all minds and individualized spirits combined. Physically, Medically, Spiritually.
