Spirit Whispers

i walk through life
whispering to myself
or this spirit
as i go
it's how i see things
what i believe
my view of reality
this running dialogue
of truth and illusion
i don't know what

i meet people
they say things
tell me what they see
i hear distant sounds
words from noble minds
others before me
ones around me
what is me

then there's the earth
or a deity
maybe a fate
can i touch it
but is it me

Dear Greg, your deep rich introspection encompasses both the ethereal and the material and blends them so beautifully. As we are made of the elements of Earth with binds our bodies to Her nature, so we are made up of the Divine which binds our spirits to His higher realm. Your exceptional introspection has become mine this morning and I thank you for sharing for impressive poetry with me. Warmest wishes my friend.. ~Susan

Ah, but your verses are truly beautiful, Greg. We come together as one soul touches another. Your soulful poetry touches mine... I agree with you, intolerance is the foe and we do have more in common than many think. Your reply is enlightening and appreciated, my friend. Namaste, dear poet.

Susan your notice is most appreciated. This composite narrative is a tribute to my many poet friends who are mostly Christians. Though my own beliefs lie in a Pantheist/Buddhist philosophy, I recognize the questions of an existential nature that we ask ourselves are virtually the same. Intolerance is the foe, we have more in common than many think. I am in awe of your beautiful verses, were mine better, these differences would surely diminish. Namaste dear poetess.
