Needing Saviors

It is natural to hunger for a savior – when spiritual, we turn to God; and when feeling more literal, toward government, our mates, extended families and pens – Today, I write my better world; perhaps, investing too much in image, in song, and the music of my own voice: Here, I am master, in the snow-white beginning of my poetry; where the first mark can be a bolt of lightning, or a scented rose – Poetry, is omnipotent! – even if I am not.

Prince, some poetry is a bag of wind. Or words, nothing more. Some very low? Without us there is no poetry. Poetry does not write itself, does it Omnipotent, I think belongs to a spiritual being...meaning all powerful. Poetry cannot destroy or create a world or a child. It’s just an expression of a human being. Poetry, music, art are expressions of human spirits not of Gods. Think of Hunter Biden, ya Right..,a THIEF WITH TERRIBLE ART. Pangie

We can do nothing that God did not give us power to do. Poetry is part of His Spirit Creation Manifest. Everyone of us is part of His Spirit Creation Manifest. Nothing exists outside of God. He created everything out of Himself (the Four Omni's). We are co-creators in many ways -- His Grace of Freewill. The power within and behind our poetry (Spirit) can indeed create a beautiful child...or destroy. The power (Spirit) within and behind our poetry can produce works of Pure love -- Music can be like the spirit of Pure Love. All can be ecstasy...Heaven on earth. Or counterfeit garbage, which our Lesser Selves produces in abundance.
