Gospel

gospel

We hear the expression:
the gospel truth
seeming to mean
an absolute truth..
What might be the meaning
of this word
untethered from religion..?
What is the Good News the
word often prompts..?
Could it be that gospel
is simply a notification
of our true nature
not contained in bodily 
boundaries..?
A Google search will soon
entangle this word
in religion's many 
containments..
If we slide past these
might we find the freedom
in the Good News:
this word..now Free...

Charles this poem is fantastic!! I love the idea of separating the Gospel from religion. For me the Gospel is that God loves all and will bless us to find a place of peace, rest, and happiness. But I love your idea of the Gospel perhaps being our true nature of freedom. That is so Namaste!! Great Work brother!!
