So Spake Simple Simon

Line of inquiry:
 “We look at spirit not at form
Our touch is gentle, kind and warm
We but reflect God’s love and light
‘Tis the path to which we conform”

Our corporal body is only an outer husk,
Which we leave behind in life’s dusk.
But a fragment of the divine in every chest
Dwells, that no force on earth can bust.

It can kindle each being like a lamp,
Even when we wander aimless like a tramp,
Throwing light in the dark, showing us our way,
Guiding and forbidding us from going astray.

This spark from the divine may lie covered in ash.
But it can be fanned into flame and can flash.
In life’s ups and downs, in moments dark and bright,
We feel the throb of life inside, a flash of light.

God’s love and light alone can make us whole,
And even after our death, we live in our soul.
Reflect God’s love, it will our lives transform 
To His divine mercy, let our lives conform- 

......So spake simple Simon

Sotto Poet June 8, 2026 at 8:32 AM Valsa, this is a fantastic poem that provides a profound analysis of how the divine endures despite the death and decay of human bodies.

Joseph P. DiMino June 6, 2026 at 5:41 AM Wow! Great advice and inspiration. Divinely inspired. Have a great writing weekend my friend. Write on!!

Sara Kendrick June 6, 2026 at 4:56 AM This one reads like a good contender for the contest to me, Valsa. Yes, within those who accept Jesus as their Savior lives the Holy Spirit to guide, nurture, teach and comfort. Without Him, I would not have been able to make it. I need Him more each day. Sara K.
