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….

Heartwarming isn't a strong enough word to describe the warm spirituality within your words. Eternal hope blossoms in the verse.

Simply Beautiful, Joe. EXCLAMATION POINTS. A FAVE. S/h/b POTD,... esp. instead of Arthur Vaso's latest trash. Abominable, that. ~ gw

Propagandist. Who knows nothing firsthand.

Just read it...deeply flawed distortion of truth. Don't blame you for being upset. Trash.

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.

Purposely dumbed down by powers that be. Sad. Thank you, Joe.

We are human. We feel right and wrong, yet we must pray for love.

- 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
