Geoffrey Brewer Poet Sonnet

Life Intention

LIFE’s INTENTIONS
Across the field in wild proliferation
A multiplicity of forms abound
Not broad brush daubed impressionist collation
But gathering of beings, each one crowned

Every leaf each blade of grass with purpose showing
A will that shall maintain the form alive
From golden flower clock the seeds are blowing
All strive to bring persistence and survive

I see life spark contained within each one
Or is it mere organic chemistry
Or hand of God that draws a thread as spun
And weaves the cloth of every destiny

Explanations are profuse as man’s invention
Nonetheless I’ll not deny a clear intention

WHEREAS
Whereas I see no doubt of life’s intents
All forms self driven to perpetuate 
Yet there’s another motive that I sense
That drives those entities to close relate

Each seen to be supportive of another
Although one instinct drives them to compete
While in their interaction as a brother
Contribute to conception more complete

Within a seemed consensual existence
Where help is given willingly or no
In endless reciprocity assistance
Our world proliferates, thus to bestow

The spectrum of creation, whence assigned
Bringing light and satisfaction to my mind

Gershon Wolf June 1, 2020 at 4:32 PM As brilliantly penned as it is sensitive to the processes and proliferations of life. Excellent poem, my friend! :) gw Geoffrey Brewer June 3, 2020 at 7:15 AM Thank you for the kind words, Gershon.

Joseph P. DiMino May 27, 2020 at 9:32 AM Lovely read, Geoffrey; truth be told, nothing exists outside the body of God--there is no outside. We are all one...separation is only an illusion of the mind(consciousness). Great write. Outstanding poetry my friend! Geoffrey Brewer June 3, 2020 at 7:14 AM Many thanks for the comments, Joe.
