My Earthly Journey

 
"Embracing the teachings of God and Tao " Quote by _Constance Earth I am a fragment on this sphere of Earth, Not even a dust speck on the terrain; My quest long to spiritual rebirth, The way both beautiful and full of pain. Oh, my heart and soul are scarred with death's stain, But, I have arrived to the here and now; I am a part of this earthly domain, embracing the teachings of God and Tao ! Life The path in life was been a twisted road, All those ups and downs are now my essence; The why- words and poems have overflowed, My life one of stillness and quiescence. And life is full of perfect quintessence, Faith and meditation each day I vow; Thus rewarded with glowing candescence, embracing the teachings of God and Tao ! Purpose I often struggle with my earthly way, it is about creating in the end; oh sure there are some days I go astray, above life's hardships I wish to transcend. And in a bouquet I gather each friend, to the Lord with sweet devotion I bow; and have been blessed with the skill of words penned, embracing the teachings of God and Tao ! In my deep consciousness the pain I mend, in mindfulness I find the way and how; and to the sky like birds words I send embracing the teachings of God and Tao ! _______________________ January 20, 2022 Poetry/Rhyme/My Earthly Journey Copyright Protected, ID 01-1423-077-20 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Earth Life Purpose sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 01/21/2022 Sixth Place Poem of the Day January 22, 2022

In addition to congratulating you on this gracious and elegant POTD, Constance, I'd like to add a bit of silly humor, as is my wont: Please note that God and Tao backwards is Oat DNA -- Dog. Excelsior! ~ Gershon
