Previ" Flowering Poverello Summon Your Soul floweringpoverello Oct 15 IMMORTAL DIAMOND POEMS #7 No one else Can say Where your courage Awaits For mind, will, And emotion Must summon Your soul To goodness And to action. ~ Inspired by Richard Rohr's book 'Immortal Diamond'. Previous poems in this cycle appear after the image below... 1. ~ So much fear As if it was unbearable ~ To know Our true selves ~ As if pain Could destroy ~ The strength Of the soul ~ Which endured it all Despite the mind's fall. ~ Inspired by 'Immortal Diamond' by Richard Rohr. He writes about "the human temptation to run from and deny not just the divine presence, but our own true selves, our inner destiny, our true identity" ~ Image by Muhammad Sadeeq from Pixabay 2. I was running From God As if life depended On independence A devoted delusion Miring the mind With ego's sad And blind confusion. ~ Inspired by Richard Rohr, who describes "the human temptation to run from and deny … the divine presence". ~ 3. Deeper Than our deepest identity God Our reality Awaiting Our destiny Our source Of love Where we May endlessly run. ~ ~ 4. I was running From my own pain My own Insecurity Running into A confusion Of lies A false security Until there beckoned A voice of divinity Calling me deeper Redefining my identity From God I now seek A better Eternity. 5. Why Did I deny The divine presence So present in those tastings Of transcendence? I did not know It was God Whispering in all Still moments of transfiguration I did not understand at all The hidden power Of timeless revelation. ~ 6. Within There are demons As well as divine Darkness So how to discover God is also there? And way beyond Both far and near Loving me there Now and here. ~ ~ Comment Like You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from Flowering Poverello.
