The old religions are dying
(Some are claiming)
Allah and Jehovah
together, are sighing
Perhaps, happy to leave
the party, at long last
Afterall, being a god
is quite tiring
The New Age
arises inexorably
As for me I can't wait
to see what new gods
we will next create
in our own image...

They say that divine beings shaped and molded us in their image
I have no problem with believing this
Evolution moves with such godlike slowness (to us mayflies), yet it's the most amazing engine for creativity ever
It could be the tool of a god
Or, in some way beyond us, is it a god itself?
I believe in a creator
But I also believe we craft our creator
Ever notice how gods are reflections of the societies that worship them?
It crafts us, and we craft it in return
The Maker is made of clay as much as we are ourselves
We lie on our side, running our hands against its' body, sculpting a pleasing form that excites us
While it oh so lovingly takes the knife and gently strips away that which does not benefit us, if we let it
We're all wet, and amorphous
Yet the divine lets us do to it what it does to us
Is that a fantastic god, or what?

Or what? What would our world
look like if the new old religions
were finally placed away
as the others
before them?
Not replaced, simply put away
as a child outgrowing toys
or a security blanket
puts them away
in a box...
And moves on
into growth
and enlightenment

as I kiss my large obsidian rock and the it absorb the negativity from me, I simply retune myself with amethyst and some clary sage(wish I could smoke weed intead)and inside myself, where no one else can see...I dance, just a little sidestep really...but dance none the less

why wish? haven't you heard?
it's medicinal these days
and the legal pungent haze
over Colorado has reduced
the crime rate to a period
not an exclamation point
point being I have onyx rocks, too
I keep in a metal box with a Chief
prow nosed and proud painted on its lid
amongst other stones and an arrowhead, or two
or you serious? these will absorb my negativity?
but, I digress with banal brutality
when all I meant to say and this is the gist
if you're going to partake of cannabis
please don't be a cowardly bloke
and later claim "I swear, I didn't inhale it...."

What a GREAT read!!! I loved all the posts, but Phantasm, yours made me think of a bigger picture - an "oh so loving" wholeness that we can't see but can sometimes feel because we are a part of it, one that moves with "godlike slowness" yet transcends every religion that tries to capture it. Yeah, that is a fantastic God!!!!

Just such a treat, to see you back amongst us, Heart. Throw an offering into the thread if you feel inspired. Phant, Moseley, Aims, David and myself, amongst others, used to love be-musing one another, as I like to call it, when poets, inspire poets, at old Bnet University (hehe) back in the day. It's a fun way to practice the art of writing and to be inspired, when you didn't think you had a poem in you. The word games are also excellent writing practice. And of course, anything one shares in a thread like this, or that, can also be posted by itself in a thread of ones own. As Phant said, the thread was hopping. Someone needs to re-infuse it with another poetical offering. Somebody sashay in and do it! I'm to tired. I just finished an epistle, as David calls my little stories, on the Blog Board. And the six thirty in the Sunday morning gotta get up and go to work routine is demanding I get some sleep.  |

Hey there. I just had an idea about what you said, that we used to love "be-musing" one another. I have so many thoughts that I think could be a poem, but I can't seem to find it, so I just set it aside. What about we try to "finish" each others ideas for a poem? Could there be a section called "There's a poem in there somewhere?" (or something like that?) Just a thought!

I think that is an excellent idea, Heart. Let me see if I can figure out where best to add a board such as this and such.
