Creator fire
capping the crest
of the skull
to hold the blaze within,
humankind dancing ritualistic,
locked in futile struggle,
trapped in vain concerns,
while creation waits
the true and soulful dominion.
All particulate matter,
even unto
the mysterious nature
of eternal light
sings out to the center,
great God Almighty
emanation of divine throughout
bring us to destiny.
An amazing poem, Jerry. I like the structure and excellent use of language. The last line reads like a prayer: "bring us to destiny." Is that how you meant it? And "the blaze within" is a wonderfully unique way to express the human spirit, perhaps? The message I got is to trust God to lead our destiny, whereas humans sometimes try to do it by themselves. I really enjoyed the tone/voice of this poem.
You have danced the words to his song, his ethereal music, the center of all being and becoming the dance of life directed from that sphere.
Jerry wonderfully wise and poetic enjoyed very deeply thank you, and God Bless You! Jasmin Horst

Beautiful Jerry ~ I connect completely to these words. There is so much that can be said about the message and wisdom propeling this piece, yet for some things there are no words - only 'feelings.' This is a very moving write.
