By Or Through Poem by Glen Kappy

By Or Through

Rating: 5.0


Put 'by' or 'through'
before my name
and either word
would mean the same.

When I'm amazed
by what has come through me
I know, God, Who
the source must be.

Thank you, Dillip. I relate to poets who refer to, depend on, a muse of one sort or another. I'm convinced it's God's spirit that's the source of all beauty. -Glen

Brief introspective reminder of our place in the realm of existence. I have often thought of humility as having a true perspective of my significance in the whole realm of things. It creates a sense of smallness, certainly, and yet as a creation of the Most High, also reminds me that I have a real significance that does not originate from me. So I can humbly maintain a sense of true significance. Inspiring piece, Glen.

thanks, neal. don't know how common this is, but, as the poem says, i am amazed sometimes (usually after the fact) by what i've written. where did the words come from? the ideas? i guess it's the muse idea, and we hope (or most of us do?) that something might come through us that is more than a labored same old same old. may we be en-thused (from the greek for in and divinity) over and over. glen
