"My God is Love I realize"


Poem Artwork

Freethinker: One Pilgrim's Progress Swimming Upstream

I am therefore I hope to be

I am because I was

Having survived the worst of the
Effect of a lost cause
As aftereffect and very
Special effect of the elect

To which I do not belong apparently

Unelected unaffected
Neither cause nor effect
Which effect though outgrown is not rejected

Not the way the elected rejected me

But I have my own family
Of my creation now
Since I evolved somehow

Despite the aftereffect of the elect
Predestined persecutors of
Those who realize God is Love

Though my constipated conquerors despise
My God is Love I realize
Having survived the worst of the
Effect of a lost cause

I am because I was

I am therefore I hope to be

This is an impressive use of language and meaning, making sense, always an added bonus, and yet giving a contemplation we could all spend a lifetime learning. Love your picture, made me smile instantly, what a happy face you have. Love will do that to you. :) Blessings, Michelle

You're looking considerably younger these days, Steven, "...having survived the worst of the Effect of a lost cause" taken into consideration. A burden lifted is a joyous thing. You've a right to be proud to be you...

Blessings, Lin
