~ THE VICISSITUDES ~
Through the vicissitudes of a life rife with lonely wanting
My path was lit from a spiritual place with apparitions haunting
Driven to learn the power lurking In holy edifices and ancient places
I wandered the world with an eye to devour mystery and social graces
But throughout the vicissitudes incurred I somehow lost my own opinions
It took an act of God to slow me down and afford me my personal dominion
Over choices and decisions concerning who I Love and what I do
Today, I find myself thanking God for helping me to steer my own haunting...
For finally I have found deep within myself, a spiritual understanding
That is to say, my conversations with God no longer require planning
Somehow, through all the altercations I have found true Love of God
Not the God in history books or sermons
But the light you see In everything and everyone
The God in street urchins and butterflies
The God in Love of life
The God in a thieving child
The God in the energy
That created everything
The God that no longer requires
A plan to speak with him
When, (regardless of the Vicissitudes)
You can speak with him
Anytime at all....

Over the years my understanding of GOD has changedÂ
dramatically. I too underwent my own seeking of spiritual knowledge
for a system or belief set that set with my own heart. After much questing and sampling and thinking this or that,.. When I stopped struggling so hard.. ItÂ
happened. I found peace with realizing I did not have to follow acceptedÂ
religious dogma.. it was OK to go out on my own and create my own
relationship with source. and spirits and guides.. and all the wondrous
entities and dimensions we are privy too.. This poem illustrates that so perfectly....The great thing was.. God is all things, in all things, andÂ
loves all things... It is home.

My Dear Tony,
This one tore at my heartstrings, the moment I saw the title, because my Father often said to me, "those are the vicissitudes of life". Â
Your powerful words so well illustrate man's struggle with adversity, questioning God's ways.
Great write, full of potent passion, and soul-searching soliloquy. Â
All stars, had to pin it.
All my love,
