Sunday Musings:   By Williamsji

Sunday, 22nd   June, 2014

My Sunday Day Greetings to COSMOFUNNEL Administration, to all authors, artistes and viewers

_____________________________________

SYNOPSIS: This is my weekend writing column for a review of a poem from a selected author. This Column is being titled as " Sunday Musings " with a view to feature an in-depth analysis of  any one of the poems from the previous weeks winning nominations, selected by me at random to avoid the elaborate review or comment postings  by me in the usual comments column. Glenn Marchand's almost all poems are great success and have won the nominations; hence it was very difficult to choose the best one for my review. However, I shall plan this column in such a way to accommodate almost all style of poems by all poets and poetess of COSMOFUNNEL, which I hope will give more room for encouragement and inspirations to write. The poems selected are purely from my own liking and discretion and has nothing to do with the ratings, voting and nomination aspects. Hope, readers will understand my view point and enjoy my writing. My views and interpretations in this column are purely my own observations, and it has nothing to do with the personal life of the author of the poem.  I am eager to read your feed-backs.  The  poem which  I have taken-up for this Sunday Musings is this poem written by Glenn Marchand 14th June in COSMFUNNEL PAGES.

Thus the Spirit

Glenn Marchand

It’s the lifeblood, the Spirit live, the ache of love, and bleeding
Pride. I die and rise, a flagrant war, beneath the flesh, aflame
The core. And tribal rites, condition life, and wisdom scars,
Suffuse the light. Thus we perish, the death of Love, fraught
Wit splinters, and rising glum. But freshet joy, adrift the clouds,
My precious love, my angel wild. And life to death, my cloven
Sight, and God to earth, the demon’s plight. Thus the Spirit,
Apace to heal, the hallowed soul, the fervent wheel.

(God has shaped every human being in His own image, which means that we are created to love. We are created to need love and we are created to give love. Most people do not know what love is. As people become more materialistic they seem to develop a unclear view about what love is.)

And heart to blood, the flame of prayer, the omen’s cage, a
Christic layer. And beauty scars, our treasured wealth, a nimbus
Tear, a cry for help. Thus we flourish, the tint of pain, the ache
Of love, the spirit slain. And truth to soul, we flit and fly, adrift
The hells, but deep inside. Thus we blossom, amidst the war,
Fraught with panic, and tragic sores.

The Holy Bible stipulates "GOD IS LOVE", and the Bible also says that "God is the Spirit" , that means true Love is a strength of mind, the Holy Spirit. But of course there are forged forms of what people call love.

The fruits of the Holy Spirit describe true Love. But the fruit of the Spirit is adore, delight, tranquility, forgiving, compassion, decency, truthfulness, tenderness, self-discipline. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.  If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. The first fruit of the Spirit is Love and all of the other fruits are distinctiveness of Love.

Love is more than a sentiment, it is more than an understanding, and it is the manifested charisma of God, the glory of God. Remember God is Love, so when you experience true Love you are experiencing God’s glorious presence.  The second fruit is joy; love is the ultimate joy that can be experienced. You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy. The third fruit listed is peace. Just as fear is a spirit, so also Love is a Spirit of power and peace. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. The other six fruits of the Spirit all have to do with actions of Love and the power of Love. All of the fruits of the Spirit are the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, which is the manifestation of God’s love in our own life. Congrats dear Poet Glenn Marchand for sharing your spiritual verses with us. My applause to you
