I Must Be More Than What Others See

I must be more than what others see. For that is just the physical me. I know there’s more than what’s in sight. There must be a hidden me, right? If not just physical, then what other form? What other choices could be the norm? When I physically manifest. I showed a shell of myself at best. I may be a spirit, residing inside, Or am I the source that’s controlling the ride? A being of intelligence given a choice, Communicate through writing or by voice. Physically here to live then to die. I know I’m more, but not sure just why. I’m part of creation, an eternal life force, Created by God, creation’s source. My life is a mystery, beginning to unfold. I’ve been fooled by many and the lies thy told. The voice inside quietly said, “There’s layers of awareness in my plan, Various depths of consciousness in my creation: man.”

Thanks for your response Harry. One thing I've learned, life will go on without me, so you have to get right back up on that horse. Thanks for choosing this as a favorite. Bill

Wonderful exploration of 'Mr. Inside' vs. 'Mr. Outside.' Sounds like the 'Noam Chomsky vs. B.F. Skinner' / 'Cognition' vs. 'Behaviorism' debates. Great write, Bill. Here's to Cognition, gw

We are complicated human beings and there are many layers to us, if we ask God he will help us to unpeel each layer of us, in a healthy self-accepting way, Nicely penned dear Bill. So much depth in your poem. :)

Very contemplative, introspective writing, Bill. Can you be more than you see in yourself? Why is the spiritual encased in the physical? Hmmm...which is more important, the cover or the contents? I think you know the answer to that! Loved it.

Yes, we are layered and when we become or accept the forgiveness of God through Jesus Christ His Son then those layers go deeper and deeper. We grow and grow. I enjoyed reading this one and I am glad that I chose it to read today. Thanks for the visit to my page and for the Thanksgiving well wishes. Sara

Thank you for your kind comments, Paulette. It is indeed great to be alive, to have the breathe of God within. It is a joy to be part of the creation of the Master Creator. I love life and all that's in it. I pray that even those whom are preceived as evil will become aware of the Love of their creator. Your friend, Bill
