I was taught God made us because he was lonely And that our lot is to enjoy him forever Though in no position to complain I only Hope he will keep me out of trouble and never Tire of me nor become bored with my company
So far so good but for the nightly frightening But then like a cat I always land on my feet If shaken stirred by darkness to the brightening Dawn of shared understanding with others I meet
In sum it seems this life is an education A learning excursion I would enjoy again Having learned the key to it is ...resignation... Which knowledge makes it easier to bear the pain Demarcating the essential separation Between the creator and we who created The separation in the first place I suppose
Yet I enjoy creator and created too As separation becomes less demarcated In answer to a question none created knows Nor do I need to know while I am here with you Where both question and answer bloom within the rose
Between the creator and we who created
The separation in the first place I suppose:
It all started in the Garden when they did eat that fruit. I have separated myself from God only to find myself falling and reaching. Alas my arms were not long or strong enough but his was. Why did he forgive?
Wonderful write, Stevie
God Bless,

"the pain
Which demarcates the essential separation
Between the creator and we who created
The separation in the first place"
Never thought of it that way. Great thoughts. Effectively written.
