The Source Poem by David DeSantis

The Source

Rating: 4.9


What is it
that gives life?

This eternal source

To make this mind,
make it think?

This eternal source

Who are we,
in these endeavors?

This eternal source.

And why do I not
think when I should?

This eternal source.

What is love,
and what are attachments?

This eternal source.

Who has beauty
and how do I fit?

This eternal source.

Is family all,
and where is my journey?

This eternal source.

All I know:

In all
there is love

in love there is health

in health there
is freedom

These are eternal sources.

I like this David, it reminded me of the eternal source energy I gain through Tai Chi, since discovering it's powers, I have tapped into it on several occasions when the need was great and never have I been dissappointed. The wonder of the eternal source is that is is just that, eternal, never in short supply and love is it's greatest tap, which leads to both health and freedom from the ties that bind us. A most enjoyable read, very thought provoking, smiling at you, Tai

Everything comes to one...The law of cause and effect that is in science...the eternal source in religious belief is He...the Almighty One! ! ! As always greatly penned! ! ! Cate
