"evil Twin"

"Spiritual Narrative"

After life began,  appeared “Evil Twin” mind’s obvious sin
‘Evil’  naught of nothing, using the power of love’s “something”
Giving rise to evil self, far to left, image of self
Love created, but mind deviated, it’s love abated

Love’s logic created Soul, but I am so bold, left heart’s gold
Lost in a wilderness mind, became the Soul of evil twin
Lost in it’s philosophies, mind’s logic of complexities
Has philosophically debated, Love that created

Saying, ‘how can this Love be the reality of me
I shall exalt above, this creation of heaven’s Love’
But crucifixion of mind regains Love’s self in time
As the mind is refined, Soul is re-aligned, with Love’s vine

Man’s discoveries, pieces of the recoveries, of true self
As pieces of the mind crucified, must learn to abide
From Love light’s truth  cannot hide, reality has not lied
Being one with reality, God true technicality
 
Evil self is naught, except, in a mind of worldly thoughts
Live of your mind if your will, create life’s bitter pill
Your bitter pill will not spill, into Sacred Heart’s will
This proverb is proverbial,  `Tis non swerve able

Within one’s love, one must abide, for on death’s cross it was tried
Also mind must abide, for on the cross was proven it lied
Death and life was set before, human mind to explore
To show evil twin, death’s sin, just no way for death to win

Make a tree good or make a tree evil, for is by man’s choice
Lie on God if your will,   lie `Tis your own bitter pill’
`Tis by your own choice, by your own voice, `Good or Evil’
Death failed, life’s tree stands still, on yonder hill, alive and well

You already know how much I admire your spiritual philosophy, Moses, and this write is a compelling expression of both your talent and the concept of "evil." Wonderful work, my friend! Love, Carolyn

I think I get it, Moses. It's all about focus. Seek spiritual knowledge and truths in order to know love's goodness. Then, take action to live right. Follow the rod (the word of God) to the tree of life with the Holy Spirit as ones daily guide. Remember the love of Christ and be like Him. Serve one another, show forth kindness: deeds & words. Be slow to anger. And when angry, hold the tongue... (Not always easy, though.) Be kind. LOVE one another. God is love. We are in His image. Oh, joy!

Good and evil, is born with us, and which one will dominate, is the question... I like how you compare the two in your poetry, "make a tree good or make a tree evil, for is by man's choice"... and thanks so much for your comment on my poem, Into the Future, and I have made my first step into the future and it is a wonderful thing...

There is a lot of depth in this well written poem that I find very thought provoking. I do believe that love was misused at the beginning and must be restored to the God's centered way. The soul was divided into two identities as you call here, the evil twin, is one of them, the good twin :), the other. Thanks for sharing and allowing me to reflect. Thank you also for your kind comments on my poems. Happy New Year 2010! Caroline.

Very deep...and thought provoking piece you have penned here....intriguing and so eloquent. Life is about choices...we either can walk in God's ways...or the devil's. Powerful message conveyed! Thanks so much for sharing and for your taking the time to read my works. Many thanks too for your always kind comments...loved the little rhyme you came up with! Have a glorious day~Mary
