"the Human Foible Vs Godly Nature"

Man once was a sacred human species
Who learned strife using earth’s forms of  pieces

From beastly logic of his minds own fiction
Came his illusions of mind depictions

As the wholesome earth quakes at the mind’s fakes
Oil spills of mind’s evil deals, as minds quake

One optional door left to explore, heaven
From whence spills forth the Agape leaven

Choose by grace your lovely persona face
For mind’s face lays our earthen treasure at waste

A golden treasure’s power in human hands
A city treasure of heart or barren lands

Agape’s golden city, or whorish pity
From depth of heart is built, gold’s eternal city

For Contest: The Power In Your Hands
In Honor of: Carolyn Devonshire
Placed #2

John, did you know studies have shown that dolphins are more likely to approach people who are smiling? Read much about these creatures and 6-year-old Cuban refugee Elian Gonzales was saved from sharks by dolphins when everyone else on the boat that sank died. There was a book named something like "Angels, Aliens and Dolphins" that showed how wise these sea mammals are...certainly more "evolved" than we are in many ways. Love, Carolyn
