An illuminating moonscape came on Sunday

In Spring of thirty-three C.E.

[The third day]

Executed—Jesus the Nazarene

Falsely charged with sedition

Yahwe, Jehovah raised Jesus back to life

Forty days later, Jesus ascended into heaven

 
 
A polytheist would argue just one God That there are endless guards and many rods given these wards With many temperaments and aims devotion for a supreme being Compassionate gods spread charity, clarity’s light and goodwill Whereas others spread hate, blood still spills Relates—mayhem and darkness The God of the Old Testament unforsaken is the nakedness not ever to turn the other cheek not even for the meek He portrays Himself Jealous and wrathful vengeful, rageful Numbskull—beware! Whilst man plays by the rules these judges will decide The winner takes it all The loser has to fall No complaints, apologies Whilst the God of New Testament demonstrates much mercy, forgiveness you shall see For God and his creations This is what’s in common in the world religions This is the core, the common essence all shared values when in His presence The road is long, painful and circuitous A troubled past will plague us dubious religious sects, false replay, vulnerable man is their prey Realization from my deepest self I reveal enamored in love is how I truly feel I felt with all things, a strong sense of collectiveness An emotional rapture of the combined sacred oneness One man showed us love A true love He displayed, flogged, died Crucified for love of mankind The Jewel of Jesus Find a man like Him and certainly not a moony (woman) In Ganges River, I shall swim in blessed holy water I’ll bathe in His wine I’ll drink On my knees I shall sink Bow down and pray for Yahwe’s precious Jewel the One, the Only Eyes of blue? Jesus Christ Superstar

Dear Anaya another exceptional piece by you. I read your thoughts and they are ones that make so much sense and truth. Jesus is the Super Star. he is the one for me his love and sacrifice for our sins and forgiveness are qualities I cherish. I know I am late to this much loved piece but I really need to favor this iconic write of yours. A fav for me...

Anaya, I'm happy you've expressed your love for goodness through J.C. You certainly do it with a sense of humor as well. I wonder if Jesus ever made it to the Ganges? You do really make J.C. a superstar and sing a ballad of praise.

dear anaya, This is very interesting for me to read, as someone that is also curious about other religious views and what they think about religion and how they perceive things spiritually, i found this engaging! Youv written a powerful poem! That flows very well too! I really liked the lines "In Ganges River, I shall swim in blessed holy water I’ll bathe in His wine I’ll drink" so poetic! And so beautiful how youv concluded! Best wishes for the contest! Pleasure reading. Sending you light!

We a collective soul. I am fascinated with world religions, sorry for the delay with a reply. You demonstrate a provocative and delicately worded mood. I've said it before and say it again, I am thankful for you, your presence here has made the bitter a little better and nice so much sweeter--keep up your Gods work! Ty~Anaya

Dear Anaya, I love how your word wrestles with divine paradox with wrath and mercy, rods and wine, the Ganges’ current meeting Calvary’s hill. I see the hunger for collectiveness, the ache for a love that flogs itself to save. Your words are the river, carving canyons through dogma to find the jewel beneath. The oneness you seek? It’s already in the cup you kneel to drink. Spring Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

"Narnia" is one of the most facinating fantasies which intriques adults and children alike, and with that said, i will wiki the "Screwtape Letters" and try and glean what wisdom it offers. TY

Dear Anaya, I so appreciate your candor and I am glad to see you return to Christ. I have a new Poetry Contest you may be interested in because it deals with this subject directly. By the way I do not know if you ever read C. S. Lewis's Book "Screwtape Letters". I read it a long time ago and just read it again this week. It deals with this in a very different way. Spring Blessings, my Dear Friend, Daniel

Daniel I could have wished upon the stars and prayed to Luna through my search for truth. You're evaluation is quite right on! well a secret I must tell my friend, my feelings and passion always return to Jesus our Lord! Why do I think so eclectic? I'm fascinated with cultures and world religion's , Bowie Buddhist, George Harrison Hare Krishna so interesting. I know who I pray to in the end and I want to be closer to Him you're poetry puts me on its path.Easter blessings. dearest Daniel. Ty for your kind words ~ A naya
