" HEAVENLY BODIES "

When God created the earth
He gave fish
Bodies
That worked well
Within the environ of water
And birds
Bodies
With which to soar or glide
Gracefully upon the thermals
And Man, a body
To thrive upon the earth
He also gave man a soul
(or spirit body)
So that he might thrive
Beyond this planet
For in the very short time we wear
These bodies
We are constantly learning
To learn
To use our spiritual bodies
Through struggles and profound strife
Sometimes through meditation
Or a kiss from a loving wife
Where our consciousness is altered
For moments, and sometimes
Extended periods of time
Where the impossible
Becomes the possible
But we do not share the extraordinary
Lest we be named insane
Or just eccentric
But the truth is that God has given us
The ability to comprehend
That there is so much more
Than meets the eye
A world inside ourselves
That has yet to come
To it's fruition
For it's hard
To bloom
In Hell....
