The Light-Side of Eternity

We could not think it
were it not yet a
part of us, a lethal ligament
of mental connection

a cobra of self 
in the brush -- 

We must dare to go in

confront

travel beyond

if humanity
ever to out-right live

the Light-side of eternity....

The Bible tells us: "For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7-8 Nice job Joe. God Bless, JB

Thank you, Judy; if thought...it is already done -- for heaven records our minds and hearts along with our deeds in the physical. Spirit and dense substance~divinely connected. We must guard our thoughts!

Hi Evelyn...how deep I can shovel is often a surprise to even myself. What the heck!? I keep trying to make sense out of what often seems senseless. Irrational...even with Biblical training. blessings my friend.

Hi, dear Joe! I am working back, too, after some long, difficult illness that was hard on Jim. He had to bring me back from death, aiding Jesus by fihjting docs. This fathoms deep poem with its hard advice speaks truth for us all & esp. for the current crop of leaders on both sides. Bravo! xox sally

I hear you Sally; pleased to hear that you have made the turn toward better. I ran a medical transport business for many years, so I know the horrors, first hand, of dealing with the bureaucracy. God bless Jim. You are lucky to have such a loyal and loving husband. Sometimes impossible to deal with such issues alone. That is why I gave up my profitable transportation business at a point, and turned it into non profit, just so I could help people navigate the system. No regrets. Best thing I ever did for myself and others. Blessings, Joe.

Yes, indeed--We must dare to go in --confront-- travel beyond--to reach light-side of eternity. Powerful thought my friend. Welcome back, Joe. Haven't seen your poems in a while.

Hi VJ. Thank you. I'm working on a novel and having trouble juggling the two, poetry and the novel at the same time. Please forgive my sparse visits for awhile. Blessings.

Thank you, Victor; 2,000 years after Christ and still there is widespread warring and other criminal abuse of spiritual powers. There will never be a peaceful, healthy existence until we learn to control what is inside of us, the outside world a mirror reflection of our minds, hearts and souls.
