Into this world we were born so free
With a touch of your soul so heavenly
Wrapped inside with lovingly care
These bodies you made from your artists clay
Go forth you said and so we did
Never really understanding what it is you meant
Free will and sovereignty were your gifts to us
But when it came to brains we all missed the bus
But still you watch over us all
I bet you're laughing to see us fools
Run around like headless chickens
An analogy you created and a point we are missing
You see free will is all well and good
Until you realise what you are meant to do
God is waiting for you to hear his call
And this gift he gave is a powerful tool
To be one with him is a mighty thing
But only if you choose to let him in.
And if you don't that's fair enough
But you are somehow diminished
From who you are
So I guess the moral of this humble tale
Is about letting go of the things we know
About the power of choice and consequence
And realising without him we are nothing

Sorry Dan. I'll try and make you laugh next time!

Great writing ) I can’t say I believe in god , although I do believe in angels .. and the divine . I think we may feel better when we are connected to our higher selves
Isn't it all one in the same anyway? It's just a matter of perspective when it comes to labels lol. Higher self for me is being a true human being (see yesterday's poem). Loving your vibe Rose
Yes , maybe your right . I guess if angels are real then maybe god is real . But yeah I’m more of a spiritual person then a religious one … and never been one to say I believe in god or Jesus …

Good write SC.
No singing today Orchi?
Yes!! Argh! lol.
Yep! In the words of that well known song "Free your mind and the rest will follow".... easier said than done though because we have to overcome so much trash we are loaded with as young people.
A good example of stuff to ditch is how we were taught to regard god in our formal education. A really man made concept which contradicts our natural spiritual senses.
Very true. Think I may have provoked some responses with this poem. Mwahahahahaaaa. Ultimately, anyone's relationship with God is their own personal thing. Therefore, no one is wrong or right.
We are empty vessels if we don't allow ourselves to be filled up by his love. This is beautiful and a wonderful affirmation of your Faith.
Pray to dear almighty
To bless all
To cure and comfort all
So well penned dear poet
If a word I could say, I shall surrender myself in God’s care
Loved the way you used your words
Very poetic
Thanks Spiller
A fine write, S.C.
This time of the year we are reminded that something happened 2,000 years ago that altered life on this planet.
Just because I'm an unbeliever/agnostic doesn't prevent me from appreciating your sometime preoccupation with free will and your relationship with the world we share.
I enjoy your comedic stuff very much, Sax but equally appreciate your questions relating to existence and consciousness.
Thanks Dave. If we don't question, then what's the point? (see what I did there? Ooo and again)
Our relationship with our own god is something special and must not be misled by the beliefs in organised religions.
Andy
Completely. It's all about relationship
