Freedom

Doubt. Fear. Par for a world
of quakes and shakes -- 
droughts and flakes
upon the mountains
contrarily bring
fountains to the 
desert bakes – separation
has bound us together -- 
the world a reflection
of man's ambient Light -- 
we abuse such gift of
Might – then blame God
for what is wealth of freedom....

Yes how we have? How we do.? In the change We often fear and vacillate.' Yet if we endure? We will be given the right to be called sons of God.!

Bravo, Joe. You hit the nail on the head. How often do we blame God!! Great reflection.

Hi Joe, there is so much depth in this tiny poem. We always entertain doubts and fears and never see the goodness strewn around us. We blame God and remain thankless. "separation has bound us together -- " How true!

This clever poem of freedom and the choice to have it resonates today with Memorial Day so close. Patriotic and spiritual, I enjoyed it.

So true and wise words delivered in such a poetic manner dear joe. We live in a world where gratitude is so rarely found and seen. I have a special place in my heart for those that are grateful for little things and always are counting their blessings, they receive more and God always gives those that are grateful, but instead whiners whine and blame God. Pleasure reading your work always. Sending you light always

Thank you, IE. What we give out...comes back. The world is a reflection of ourselves -- no one gets to stay in heaven until Heaven on Earth...Amen. We must transform ourselves if the world to break with its dependency on Evil. Light and love, my friend.
