I Am

imagin a place where
open opens
start starts
begin begins
spin spins
stop stops
knowing knows
growing grows
ending ends
imagin having touched
the very being of God
where mystery is no mystery
it is only a journey
from the beginning to the end
and infinity ask the questions
which have already been answered
as gods, what do we do then?
give chance a chance
violence freedom to roam
choices now are chosen
but a little less from the Throne
and Freedom was born
Freedom was like a son to God
he brought him his greatest joy
Freedom told stories of gladness
that filled an empty voids
Freedom made God a mystery
and hid his angry face
when ever Freedom was around
all God was was grace
one day God asked Freedom 
when will all this end 
Freedom looked perplexed
and did'nt know where to begin
God looked at Freedom 
and told him his glorious plan
my son, i'm going to create a world
and Freedom will never end

What an experience to experience! Dear John, I fear now that as I am getting more into the stroke of the brush I am losing all sense in writing. But poems like yours always lift my spirits. Much love- Alley

Brother john, before the throne of God, and walking away with a philosophy of how it should be ... imaginatively powerful. Let freedom ring.

Your take on a spiritual possibility? Or, your personal belief? Love the unique perspective here. You wrote Adventure in your adjective category so perhaps you are simply writing a combination of daydream and hope. Forgive me if I got it all wrong. Especially love the ending. Love, Shar

Loved this poetry. It says hope always prevail... I write alot of poetry all the time and I wanted to share my Gateways poem before I started to sound religous. First to see who I was and still a little.... Enjoyed this piece and I hope you will have an open mind to the poems backed by scriptures I will place on here soon. Have a great day.
