Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

I Am

I say I am
simply a man,
simple
easier for self
to understand

though the complexity of men

I am no outlier
-----------------------------
Can I say then
that I am mostly an honest man,
my only lie
that of being simply
a man?
----------------------------
If not
I will be just a loving man
at least to please my God
------------------------------
God says there is no loving man

men simply the AIs of gods…..
--------------------------------------
God spoke
and my soul responded,
I am a world 
within an endless
world

A kingdom for my
own eternal unfolding

God loved
and love I became,
my divine spirit proof of
His faithful beauty
and ever presence

God is within
enfolds me
showers me with
blessings

He is that He is
so I may be the best
of who I am….

Beneficent Father….

Omnipotent Fount of All Being....

Valsa George September 3, 2026 at 8:44 PM "God loved and love I became, my divine spirit proof of His faithful beauty and ever presence"- Love the stanza. One who has this awareness is a child of God. Remain sheltered and enfolded in his safe hands. A lovely poem. Joseph P. DiMino September 4, 2026 at 10:16 AM Thank you, Valsa; the world challenges us...God always loves us. Blessed comment!

sara Etgen-Baker September 2, 2026 at 4:27 PM The last line was most powerful. I especially liked these lines: God is within enfolds me showers me with blessings He is that He is so I may be the best of who I am…. Faving and sending blessings Joseph P. DiMino September 3, 2026 at 3:25 AM Thank you, Sara; your FAV made my day. Blessings!

DiMino September 2, 2026 at 8:58 AM Hi Anne; I just liked the subject, so I thought I would write my own, but I did not read the rules and think to enter. Lots of fine poems on the topic however. I have read some of them and they are all splendid.
