Very spiritual and thought provoking. To free the mind or as you put it "
"LET GO TO GROW" I also liked the suggestion to unfetter the spirit. The artwork is amazing with that great vortex of a cloud we could definitely sail higher.

This poem made me think. God is supposed to be uplifting and I guess the poem is trying to say fly with your god and don't let him tie you down. This is a nice message and thank you for sharing.

    He won't ever tie you down, our thoughts tie us down. Thanks so much. I'm glad it made you think:)

The best spiritual advise ever! Thank you! First I was a little reluctant to read this because god related poems often feel like a threat in god's name. However I couldn't be happier and more inspired! Thousand times yes! The moment we make god into one "thing" we have in our mind, we lost the connection!
Thank you so much for this wonderful poem!

    I don't write 'wrath of God' type poems. I try to be more uplifting and more spiritual than 'God says this or that'. Thanks for the six!!

A fine free verse. You give your reader a great deal to think on. I wonder how many can free the mind.

As I see it, to know God is to be aware of everything around us. The beauty and the ugly. To be accepting.

Those are just my feelings. I enjoyed reading your poem aloud. It made such perfect sense.

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Teresa...
A lovely thought... I applaud those who can do this.
I think that, for me, just putting the personification of 'he'
sets a boundary up front already. Makes one wonder...
;)
A beautiful free verse, and a beautiful thought process...
Well done.
Cat

    thanks:) I feel I'm growing so much in spirituality this past year. I think it is a life process though - that you never obtain what you want.

    It keeps you striving for more...

    It's your 'art'...
    Just like we are with poetry... we'll never be as good as we're going to be... so we keep striving to be more... if we stop that, we stagnate... nobody wins there.
    So we keep going forward.
    Much like that.
    right?
    ;)

Getting closer with God so that our load can be lighter. Even though things ret rough we know where we can go to. Be one with our spirit. Lovely and well written. Glad I stop to read.

Voltaire said man created God in his own image. Luther Burbank described the God of the Pentateuch with a long string of adjectives ending in infamous and hideous.
I think, like the blind men, we "prate about an elephant that none of us has seen."
Another of your fine free verse posts-no changes I see to make...
