Origins And Exits. Poem by Fay Slimm

Origins And Exits.

Rating: 5.0


It seems we, as humans
Began in a dream.
We sprung from a purposeful
Plan in the Infinite Mind,
Of which, in that timeless scheme
We were of self-same kind.



Starting from Dynamic Life
Which we designate 'God',
We were called, became form
And settled to live on earth
To experience nodding
Aquaintance with death, from birth
.


Originally we, it seems,
Were with One who is Love.
We were part of that One,
Who, through love multiplied
Self into myriads, above
Whom He is sanctified.



We are born with a spark
From the same loving Life
Who ignited us all
With the spirit of good.
Eternally lit, we might
Now hope to emulate God.



We exit from here. Once more
We and our Maker are one.
Enlightened in giving.
We re-enter His dream
Our commision is done
On earth, so it seems.

Fay, yes we do think the same way or should I say feel the same way. I see it as we are consciousness we are life, we have no beginning we have no end. This poem is brilliant in both its thought and composition, I've made it one of my favourites. 10/10 Bobxx

This accords with my beliefs Fay That we are all part of the original creator and until we all complete our journeys of discovery and come together again.We are stuck with world as it is not as it was meant to be

The alpha to omega of life made me think of my four children and how hey carry on the roberts genes and the horrors that future generations seem doomed to face.It would be great if we could pass on in the belief that there is a benvolent god with an infinite mind who we could hope to emulate, but nature is in fact very cruel and the only chance we have is to solve our problems humanistically. AS YOU CAN TELL A GREAT THOUGHT PROVOKING READ EX POEM JIM

A very thought provoking piece Fay, we are given life, a gift from God, and the only certain fact about life is that at one point we are going to die, most of us aspire to do our utmost to enjoy our lives, 10 Lynda xxx

I love the phrase, 'eternally lit'. A very beautiful poem. God is indeed the beginning and the end. Ten for your eloquence. Love, SandraX
