when it co-mingles with our human spirit?

Creation begets human consciousness daily.
Consciousness gives birth to Desire endlessly.
Desire transcends illusion momentarily.
Three As One

I went on this path one day – off the straight and narrow way
looking to find the unknown - unafraid to be alone
a skip in my stride - my smile a mile wide
passion perspiring inside.
.
Suddenly! There’s a shadow - beside my own.
“It can’t be so!” No one came with me, I know.
Nobody else wished to go.
Who could it be then? How shall I begin?
Where did it happen and when?
Living In God’s Frame Of Mind
Posted in Christianity, poetry with tags Carl Jung, Creation, God, God's image, The Universe on June 6, 2011 by Uncle Tree
I’ve been framed, by God! I have my own heavenly place.
I’ve been arranged! How odd - this life within His outer space.
When God Takes A Child
Posted in Christianity, poetry with tags children, Eternal Life, God, Heaven, life after death, When God takes a child on May 15, 2011 by Uncle Tree
What does it mean
to be a Christian
when the God you know and love
takes a child you know and love?
When He takes
your child
your baby
your most
beloved
belonging?
The Spirited Me
Posted in Christianity, poetry with tags identity crisis, The Rock Of Ages, Time on March 29, 2011 by Uncle Tree
?
If the future is set in stone, and my life is but an old short story,
chiseled into the Rock of Ages;
firmly cemented in the depths of Time,
then who am I that verily trods upon this spinning earth?
Who is that me? Who is it that quickens with each and ev’ry step?
Who is it that gallops along beside the fiery shadow of Death?
Who am I that giveth life to this age-old story?
The story – like a road as it layeth down before me.
Prey Of Fate

.
I look for a sign faithfully,
and wonder about my destiny.
Refusing to let fate choose for me,
I make each choice individually.
.
Questioning my purpose, I ask Thee,
is it your will or mine? Respectfully,
can we compromise then? Openly?
I pray for answers with humility.
.
Talents bestowed within me,
abilities fashioned for me,
though gifts were laid upon me,
my task seems hidden from me.
.
Should I walk a straight line for safety?
Veer off the main trail dangerously?
Flip a coin? Draw straws carelessly?
Stop to smell roses occasionally?
.
Rush into the fire foolishly?
Play “follow the leader” blindly?
Wait for the perfect time patiently?
Or trust my instincts? (always risky)
.
Time will cooperate…hopefully.
Hardships appear very likely.
I’ll test the true strength of my integrity,
and disregard false friends intelligently.
.
I’ll let passion drive constantly,
and reason brake, if need be.
Sum unknown capability –
Imagine that possibility!
.
I’ll pick myself up if I trip.
I shall persevere when I slip.
Determined with stiff upper lip,
no anchors on board my ship.
.
Where the sun never sets,
where you call off all bets,
where my true love awaits,
angels open the gates.
.
There — peace and understanding I’ll find.
There — joy and contentment are mine.
There is such a place. Lord, you’re too kind.
Thank you for treasures that hide in my mind!

Knock On Good
Posted in Christianity, poetry with tags coming, games, gifts, God, good, ideas, life, love, Man, play, problems, responsibility, sermon on August 9, 2009 by Uncle Tree*
No good comes to man
when he is in love with an idea.
Good ideas come
when love is in man.

I went on this path one day
off the straight and narrow way

A skip in my stride

beside my own. “It can’t be so!”
No one came with me, I know
Nobody else wished to go
Who could it be then?
