Notes About The Poem

For Unseeking Seeker's  So Spake Simple Simon Poetry Contest  / June 10, 2026

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” - Unseeking Seeker

Bliss we find on the path we’re on,
for spirit has become our guide.
Since God became our liaison,
free of pride, we are open-eyed.

Since thoughtfulness to all we show,
bliss we find on the path we’re on,
and we are engulfed in the glow
of a wonderfully bright dawn.

It’s to light and love we are drawn,
reflecting these in all we do.
Bliss we found on the path we’re on,
and more than lovely is the view.

We glide with grace in God’s embrace
with inner beauty of a swan,
our mindset in a peaceful space. 
Bliss we find on the path we’re on.

This is very well written, flow and sound - perfect. (Kyle is beside me, we're play Yahtzy- he says hi.) In my mind, I've crossed my fingers for you.
