Holy Art

Like skipping stones on red river in heart
Let it be known love of God is holy art
No two creations will be the same
Some love with laughter others love with rain

The laughter is the joy of the Lord
Easy to breathe in hard to avoid
The tears so teal tall and true
can be from joy but from pain too.

God is great, He assigns a muse
We make mistakes but God never leaves you
Could even be God is a she
God is bigger than gender identities

What if God in the wildest of hopes
Sent many in white wisdom cloaked
He sent them to encourage humans
Not at all a worry as the color of skin

God did not make mistakes
Even loves the ones who love to hate
If God is art of heart
Be careful what you create there is not dark

What if you found light in the dark
Could be Christ won your heart
Or could be in Muhammad or in Buddha you took flight
Winging your mind and soul to new heights

Musings on faith is there only one way
To cross the dark in the light of day
If love is art in many forms created
How you love the creator and if you do may be fated.

The first part a piece of art, beautiful. But when you got to gender Identity. Your muse deserted you.

Beautiful message in our poem and all art is supposed to be beautiful, but some can be demonic sadly... as good and evil reside in this world hand in hand...

Splendid, Karen. Not easy to write about God's infinite love. We do not love God, He loves us and we return His love. Great spiritual poem. Blessing.
