PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

God forgive us all as we all ask forgiveness of every being we have harmed by thought, word
or deed, by ignorance or consciously, in passion or in coldness

FORGIVENESS HEALS CANCER

33 degree water
can be colder than ice
for it is not barred
from entering the skin

When Cancer forgives
cancer can disappear

HE LAY IN PRISON

He lay in prison
on his mattress idle
of his mom's constant beatings
having thoughts matricidal.
And then for her he began to pray.
And then for her he began to pray.

GOD KEEPS NO FILES

God keeps no files
on inactive pedophiles
.. Spirit
creates learning
situations..
with action's consequences..
but God sees
all bodies
as Divine Love phials
and can each soul
undefile

THE SOLUTION IS SOLUTION

"How shall we deal
with the frozen
cold of the ice?"
Said the geese
to the sun..
"What is the solution?"
And the sun replied
that silent loving
sunlight waves
would create
from rigidity
a liquid solution.

(JJP: No matter what the question,
love is the answer)

APRIL'S TENDER TENDRILS

April begins so tenderly
when green shoot tendrils
can be smashed into
nothing by an unconscious foot

She reminds me to
be careful of my words

AS MOTHER LOOKS ON A TODDLER'S FALL

God looks on error
as a mother looks on a toddler's fall
.. or on her young son's
making mudballs
or as the sun
gazes upon sour fruit soon to be sweet
.. or upon a blow which releases
water from ice freezes

God does not send loved ones to hell
for acting on drives from the outer shell

God is more forgiving
than the daily snowfall which
erases
many human footfall traces
.. more forgiving than
the sea
which holds onto no boat wake
.. more forgiving than
the sky..
which forgets the path of clouds
or the fire
which devours the mistakes of
the past

Divine Love made us.
.. Anything which is not
of Divine Love
.. is not you.. is not me

(Sai Baba: God looks on sin as a mother
on her baby's first halting attempts to walk.
The mudballs concept came from a dream
her guru gave Jan F. Her child had filled
the bathroom with mudballs. God's gaze
instantly erased them all.)

LOVE MATCH

his loveletters she matched
and set the tinder dry
woods on flame.. Now
Love is burning everywhere

VIETNAM

The soul humbling forgiveness
of the Vietnamese
brings our hearts
to our bending knees

GOLDEN RETRIEVER, WOLLESLEY BEAR

I promise you Wollesley
Bear.. wherever you are
.. that next time I brake
for a butterfly
I'll make sure you
have your seatbelt
on

DO ANGELS FORGIVE?

Those who refuse to harm
the hearts of others
with humor involving
ridicule or cruelty
.. are able to call
on the aid of the guardian
angels who do not forgive
as quickly as their
human charges.

BIRDFEEDER AND BEAR

He thought it was
a fast food container
said the hungry bear..
and so he gathered
up your bird feeder
.. but has promised
not to do it again

WISTERIA

Through time the
compost heap's listeria
goes up through roots
.. and becomes wisteria
and drops to the bottom
the sea's
blood red pfiesteria

Those who
have made more
mistakes..
and created
much hysteria
are often the more
tolerant and forgiving

Heartcups
broken
contain the most love

how mysterious.

SNOWFORT THRONE

Every snowball at him thrown
becomes part of his snowfort's throne

His inner sun cannot be shot..
nor inner seas be smashed by rock
He puts every mudball on treeroots
... the tree will turn each into fruit.

ARIZONA RAIN

The feathers of the Phoenix
bird are not always
flakes of fire..
sometimes they are mercy's
falling waterdrops

FISHNET FORGIVEN

The fishing net has
straightened out
.. and become a dreamcatcher

(to J Lehman and his work)

BRIGHT FIELDS OF RAPESEED

She buried the thought
seeds of the long ago rape
Her act did ignite
bright fields with rapeseed light

MIDWIFE PEN

He was stuck
in the tape loops
of the painful
movies of the past.

He picked up
a pen and let
its point begin
to flow
.. the words
on the paper
as he wrote out
his feelings
.. were birthed
in separation
from him.

He was no longer
stuck. He could
release.

Because some of the words
were negative and
judgmental
he let fire
in the grate and
the waters of the
commode carry them
away....
but others
were beautiful
and he gave them away.

WINTER FORGIVES

Spring helped winter ice
.. of cold to let go
.. and in forgiveness
in freedom's joy to flow

FEBRUARY

A sudden February freeze
arrested the raindrops
on the branch
like a snapshot..
stopped them in their flow
..
but the afternoon sun frees
drops from the morning freeze
... gone the frost
nothing was lost

Now we are free
to take draughts of the sun

BEN FRANKLIN

Franklin said that in Paris
he had lapsed from vegetarian
diet into
venery and venison
.. and they had been his downfall

but he did not mention
revenge..
*

(Franklin was unwilling
to forgive his son for
being a Tory and left
him out of his will
.. though he had many
years to change his will)

SNOWDRIFT

Winds suddenly shift.
Snowclouds sift
and snowfall swift
in quiet make drifts
which fill earth rifts
with Godpure gifts.
The sight children lifts.
As snowfall swift
by snowclouds' sift

So surprising mercy
softens and heals
the hurt many feel.

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST

A serial killer
by God's mercy
could have his entire
karma wiped out
instantaneously
by Divine Will.
Those judges who vote
premeditated judicial murder
of prisoners are adding to
their own negative karma.
The last shall be first.

    HATRED SIRES LOVE

    A seeded dung hill
    transmutes
    to blooms of rose,
    as the Lord of Love
    makes hatred
    to love grow.
