'man Mars Mars

Searching, searching for the core,
to be the root, center stage, on we bore.

To see mankind as the son 
all around which all universes run.

Look to Venus, look to Mars
it's man’s face there on the moons in the stars?

Personify, God’s creations
do humans deserve such elevation?

The Man or Sphinx, on Moon, Mars
well perhaps it’s Woman who’s gone so far? 

I'm sure it’s man’s invention
leading us to this egocentric creation.

What a thought provoking words you have sketched here in this deep and lovely poem. I fully agree with you 'do we deserve such elevation?' And the most beautifully concluded 'to such egocentric creation'. It's Gem of a Poem. Besides, after reading your Blog Onam/India I completed my Rangoli or the colorful poetry on floor and am posting two of these writes. Hope you would like them. Thank you for all the inspiration I got from you. Love and best wishes..Ravindra..Deborah Guzzi

DEEP! I've tortured my old brain for many years over the issue of whether God is the All-in-All, which includes man who then becomes a part of God. Is man God like? Social situations would seem to contradict. Geat write, Debbie. Dave

Explorative ... I see ... perhaps in imagination, how we came to be ... the center of our own creativity. There are some search far from the eyes, when we search with faith we open unopened gates.
