The Caricature

The   Caricature

He slowly hobbled down the aisle of the store;
a walking stick lending support;
and when it seemed he could go no more,
he responded with a timely retort.

For all those around him, knew him well;
were surprised that he just kept on going;

The Cloister Called Earth

The Cloister Called Earth

Life is the culmination of evil and good;
we’re destined to experience both;
our purpose of being; not often understood;
we cannot live, without growth.

Life was created in two dimensions, together;
awareness; focused on one at a time;
destined to transition, and live on,

The Breath Of God

The Breath Of God

The breath of God held a special power;
casting down life from heaven above;
converting a mere seed to a living flower;
enhanced through His power of Love.

For what the Master breathed out;

Words of love tendered to another;
whether by thoughts or deeds;
rejected; causing pressure to smother;

The Separation

The Separation

In the beginning, all was One;
all aware of each other;
The Father of all, beget a Son;
and then, each sister and brother.
