~ THE VICISSITUDES ~

~ THE VICISSITUDES ~

Through the vicissitudes of a life rife with lonely wanting
My path lit from a spiritual place, with apparitions haunting
Driven to learn the power lurking, in holy edifices and ancient places
I traveled the world with randomness, that taught many social graces...

But throughout the vicissitudes, somehow I lost my own opinion
It took an act of God, to slow me, and afford me personal dominion
Over choices and decisions, concerning who I love and what I do
Today, I find myself thanking Him, for helping me through...

For finally I have found, deep within myself, a spiritual understanding
That is to say, my conversations with God no longer require planning
Through all the alternations, I have found a relationship with my creator ~

Not the God in history books or sermons
But the energy you see in every being,
The energy in, street urchins and in butterflies
The energy in, the love of life
The energy in, a thieving child
That golden energy
That helped to create
All living things...

The God that no longer requires
A plan
To speak with Him
And to comprehend,
That it is always there
And always will be,
Alive,
In our souls, 
Regardless of,
The Vicissitudes....

This is a delightful read Tony, I felt the journey of spiritual growth in the ever changing cycle of life. What I also liked was how the poem itself changes structure and pace, as the narration progresses in its enlightenment. We are surrounded by energy, which I felt in this piece the person had truly tuned into, and in doing so, they have discovered how to tap into the Devine. Bringing them piece of mind, a fuller life, which allows them to appreciate the smaller things. To notice the pure beauty shinning in their surroundings. There is a real spiritual ascension expressed and felt  

Truly beautiful 
Your good friend Gwen x :)
