Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

Divinely Flawed

I don’t need thunder
to feel the rumble,
nor lightning
to sense storm’s flash

nor icons to tear
nor statues to bleed
to realize within all
creation, God’s sacred 
omnipotent cache -- 

Yet, while in the smallest
unlimited vastness – 

and in the deepest fathomless 
depth --

admittedly, all by grace of Almighty
God,

little joy would remain for me 
in life I am certain, if denied

here and above

our simple
very flawed 
expressions of
human love….

Hilda Greenhough May 29, 2025 at 3:50 PM Heartwarming isn't a strong enough word to describe the warm spirituality within your words. Eternal hope blossoms in the verse. Joseph P. DiMino May 30, 2025 at 8:33 AM That's very kind of you, Hilda; you made my day!

Gershon Wolf May 25, 2025 at 9:43 PM Simply Beautiful, Joe. EXCLAMATION POINTS. A FAVE. S/h/b POTD,... esp. instead of Arthur Vaso's latest trash. Abominable, that. ~ gw Joseph P. DiMino May 26, 2025 at 9:59 AM Propagandist. Who knows nothing firsthand. Joseph P. DiMino May 26, 2025 at 12:20 AM Just read it...deeply flawed distortion of truth. Don't blame you for being upset. Trash.

Valsa George May 25, 2025 at 9:00 PM This is the best of your recent poems that I have read. Yes, we need not have any thunderous manifestations to believe that there is a God. In the simple things of everyday life, we feel the presence of God. If we can't give some love to others, may be flawed and never perfect, there would be no joy in our lives. Into my FAVE. Joseph P. DiMino May 26, 2025 at 12:21 AM Thank you, Valsa; made my day. Blessings.

Joe Maverick May 24, 2025 at 3:12 AM Here is frailty and power addressed well Joe Dimino..' Oh where oh where are the Wise men.? The philosphers of this age?? That they might reason together.) Joseph P. DiMino May 24, 2025 at 6:52 AM Purposely dumbed down by powers that be. Sad. Thank you, Joe.

Andrea Dietrich May 23, 2025 at 8:02 AM Just wonderful, Joe Joseph P. DiMino May 24, 2025 at 6:53 AM You made my day. Thank you, Andrea.

Victor Buhagiar May 22, 2025 at 1:22 AM We are human. We feel right and wrong, yet we must pray for love. Joseph P. DiMino May 24, 2025 at 6:54 AM Thank you, Victor -- yes, love translates all into actual life. Blessings my friend.

Anne-Lise Andresen May 21, 2025 at 10:41 AM - Inside each of us there is a deep knowing, Joe :) - (Some call it divine connection, a sixth sense or intuition) ... the most important skill is love :) - A great poem :) - hugs Joseph P. DiMino May 22, 2025 at 12:23 AM Thank you, Anne; so pleased you could relate to this work. Blessings my friend.
