The Library Of Knowledge

The Garden of Eden wasn’t a place;
it was more of a state of mind;
nothing within it occupied space;
it was Thought and God combined.

The entirety of knowledge existing;
the book of life for all humanity;
determination of God, insisting;
all this and much more is divinity.

Never Too Old

I am never too old to tell the truth;
truth has no age limitation;
never too old to visit a church;
make friends with a new congregation.

I am never too old to tear up and cry;
for tears have great cleansing power;
I am never too old to be

The Power Of Doubt

As I ruminate on all my weakness;
considering what life is about;
perhaps my greatest is meekness;
expressed in the power of doubt.

Sometimes I think I’ll do anything;
such thoughts; quickly wiped out;

the consciousness that said, “Let there be light!”
It is inhaled mentally;  not just taught;
Like the sun, it can make this world bright.

Its understanding and power bring on destruction;

For mind controls all vision;
not all is seen through eyes;
