Poem of the Month - March 2001
 

SPIRITUALITY

Tighten it as tight as you can 
then give it another turn 
Go until the road ends 
then turn again 
The path will appear 
as you tread 

Go as far as you can 
then take two more steps 
It is the Spiritual 
Done in the confines 
outside the senses 

There must be an illusion 
grounded in abstract theology
for validity
Makes sense when viewed
from the internal
Unseen from any other angle

The lives of the future recoverees
Hangs in the balance
that cannot be achieved by self
But is necessary enough to exist
There is a dependence,
as a force of creation

Minds will open
There will be followers
distracters
Liars, for self importance
All needs shared,
then parroted into constant repetitive thought
until lived in the life

Only the blessed understand
There is no motive in pretending
You cannot transmit
until you can receive
There is no one available to interpret the you
God has chosen to present to you

The understanding that that is
Becomes
the freedom that is sought.
