"transition"

Transition 
from the mind’s condition
revealed God’s unconditional love!

I had been my own man within usual concepts,
I needed transition from carnal mind’s inept,
I realized error of my ways.

By God’s love, precious style,
reconciled!

Of social resigned,
I was own worst enemy…
unconsciously blind! 
Living my mind’s illusions,
not mindful of power source!

Having lived natural incline,
was paranoid schizophrenic,
of the flesh, nothing authentic,
miscommunications of mind. 

Now I dwell in graces complete,
and all new commitments I make,
having lived natural incline, 
I have spirit's eugenics.

Love’s composition not of mind,
transitional maturity,
in the grace of love’s purity,
most heavenliest, top of line,
having lived natural incline.

I must have missed this when I was on the road, John. How true that "Love's composition" is not of the mind. Your spiritual qualities are well conveyed in this insightful poem, dear friend. Congratulations on your success in Jared's contest! Love, Carolyn

Interesting.... this is the most creative specimen I've ever seen from a christian (if u r 1). Curious about if u have the ability to interpret a bible, too...? But what's wrong w/ being schizophrenic?!? I think it improves poetry a bit if used properly...
