The Mystery

The mystery of faith
The mystery of devotion 
The mystery of love 
The mystery of knowing 
What moves us
Within us and without us 
What draws a moth to flame
And a flower to Sun
The pull of Life on Life
Like attracting and healing like
Without fear of union 
Without hope of resistance 
Iron filings gather
Around the magnet to reveal 
The pattern of polarity’s flow

So much to perceive
So much to know
And still we barely scratch the surface

U might want to start with my poem titled "Eternal" and work ur way up to now or latest bcoz I'm not done yet, still reading Baltimore Catechism. But I do hope u visit my page and might want to start with the poem titled "Eternal" to know the reason why I called God Eternal and to inform me that u also visited, thank u in advance ~Jac---> so that we have a Jac in girls n short for my real name.
