Surface Depth
We relate to God
with surface depth...
thus remaining
profoundly distant
from the unlimited breadth
and scope of spirit...
when wrongly considering,
we confound immortal, never sleeping,
unchangeable Divine Presence
with the ever-ephemeral, retiring
superficial nature of our physical bodies—
(the mesmerizing entrapment
of our eye-candy)
Though Spirit is not
separate from obvious matter,
as the earth has its wealth of star
(life giving warmth we absorb
automatically) too often
the relationship is less than
literally complimentary,
outer bodies hardly an accurate reflection of
the purest nature of our First-cause
(God The Perfect)…
We consciously avoid
the deeper interior,
where Truth flashes
(like a Time’s Square Marquee
on a Saturday’s Evening);
overtly chasing our hearts
from Spiritual reality
when Right conflicts with
personal ego…prompting us
to run toward the far more controllable
exterior—easier to make-over
a human body (Hell! We have pills for that
nowadays)—for even semi-enlightened
scientists are at a loss, when it comes to the
soul (no definitive substance to God in a
universe of man-made illusion).
