To My Children and Grands Only Gods Love is True
My dear children and grandchildren too. From my heart, I speak to you. No matter what any human says or do. Only the Love of God is true. When humans turn and walk away. You'll find it's only He who'll stay. You'll never, ever be alone. Love cannot abandon One of His own. The most trusted humans in life. Will cut you with betrayal...

Gods are online
The gods are online today, Updating their laws like software patches, Fixing glitches in heaven while we glitch on earth, Typing commandments no one reads, Uploading sermons no one feels. They scroll through prayers like spam emails, Ignore the bleeding body in the dirt, Reward the loudest liars, And punish the quiet truth. In their group chats, They laugh at those like me — Broken ribs,...

Premium Member The Rise of Gods and the Fall of Giants
From icy void, a giant stirred, Ymir, the first, his body blurred. No sun, no moon, no stars to gleam, Just primal frost, a waking dream. Then Auðumbla, the cow of might, Licked salt from ice, with all her light. And from the ice, a god arose, Búri, the ancestor, as legend goes. The Æsir came, with Odin's lead, Gods of battle, sowing seed Of...

What's More Beautiful
Whats more beautiful than the view of the stars when they paint the sky at night? Whats more beautiful than the welcoming of a new baby where joy is much louder than the pain of labour? Whats more beautiful than the gods of this world even they are considered superior? Whats more beautiful than the I do of your mate when you...

Premium Member NATURE AND GODS
I grew up in the Catholic faith… We were taught for piety, kindness, compassion and love to search but for reasons that remain my own..I lost my faith in the Catholic Church. I still pray to a God however… usually when I walk in nature…among the animals and the trees. When I take in the aroma of a field of...

Send a Paper Plane to the Gods
In two weeks, the Loy Krathong will begin. 12th in the Lunar calendar, atone for a sin. Floating specks, like us but in the sky. The stars or the lanterns; fault of the eye. To beg for forgiveness to an imaginary friend. Hence the offerings galore faithful until the end. No one has seen Or known our humanely ruin; but we have fantasized. We still have mosaics, delusions, excuses, never considering if they were lies. There is...

Premium Member True Names
Yet know this of the gods, and know it well, That we and mortals form a single spell. Dionysus, Hades, these are but tags, They ease the tongue as back and forth it wags. True names do nature spring forth from: Once call our names and gods must come!...

Gods That Man Makes V2
The circuit hums a silent song a symphony of logic, cold, strong. No gods dwell here in steel & wire no spirits whisper, no flames inspire. The temples gleam, a sterile white where data flows a day in flight. No incense, only a burn of rubber, no prayers rise just keystrokes echo; LED eyes. But sometimes, when the network...

Premium Member There Are No Gods - Only Children
There are No Gods Only Children Maui December 2024 They found the great Turtle God that held up the sky, forbidden, of course, by elders to even search for. They dove and swan around it until it collapsed in a great silky bloom that traveled the sea. The children returned and the elders said: Sit here. We have heard the great sigh and felt the earth heave. But the sky...

Premium Member In Origin
In origin, all form in chaos lay: One wilderness of warped and seething spray. Thus, intermixed lay Earth and Sky and Sea, Until a cooling calm let order be. Cool crystallized, the Earth and Sea didst fall Beneath the Sky, which cast its golden shawl. Whence, from its warmth, the silver seeds didst spring, Each words within the song the heavens sing. So...

Hermann Hesse translation of 'The Poet' and 'Without You'
The Poet by Hermann Hesse translation by Michael R. Burch Only upon me, the lonely one, Do this endless night’s stars shine As the fountain gurgles its faery song. For me alone, the lonely one, The shadows of vagabond clouds Float like dreams over slumbering farms. What is mine lies beyond possession: Neither manor, nor pasture, Neither forest, nor hunting permit … What is mine belongs to...
