What Is Holy

WHAT IS HOLY

What is holy?
The word’s meaning is nebulous
And depends on identity
One must believe Divine Being and intelligence
      is/was original mass,
That great all-seeing-eye

What does man see, hear, and value,
What the worm?

One must conclude all living creatures see, hear
      life to their varying degree,
Have singular identity,
Have some degree of awareness

The creation BOOMS out!
The BIG BANG grabs one’s very soul
Realization!
We see all through the eye of God
What is holy?
Everything

Michelle Mac Donald June 10, 2015 at 5:38 AM This one is a gem, Daver! :) I bought a painting yesterday, a copy of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam; now I'm reading an interpretation..."an anatomically accurate image of the human brain was portrayed behind God." What has this to do with your poem...everything!:) "He believed that the "divine part" we "receive" from God is the "intellect", and you certainly have your share.:) Love you, Mikki

Funom Makama June 4, 2015 at 10:20 AM What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

Joe Maverick June 1, 2015 at 2:55 PM How good this is Daver, & this is my second view of this.. Its the potential of life that is important, and we will never see that if we only ever judge negatively..' so worth the visit today..'
