    Poem Commentary

    I am seeking my redemption for raising self pride before I fall, in thinking that my work has anything to do with me at all, I have to let it go.... and of course, there's a man with purposes of his own, and I pray if he reads, he will call me his own. 

    Immersion of Self

    10-26-09

     

    Immersed into our purposes,

                I seek common ground

    Engulfed by intent

                We lose our way

    To our selfishness....

                Thinking we are chosen

    For who we design ourselves to be

                We forget.

     

    That it is He who designed

                And purposed our lives

    To be what He designed us to be

    To go where we should go

    And say what we should say

     

    I can no more respond to thee

                As my flesh would have me do

    But have to be mindful of His divinity.

     

    For, without His and my divinity

                I am no more than alone.

    We are never alone even times when we think we are. All is predetermined if we only let ourselves go and open our heart, eyes .. our souls .. then our path becomes more clear.

    The most quiet of sighs clear the skies of clouds as well. Thank you for whispering in my ear.

    a beautiful write, Darling ... "Immersed into our purposes" ... circular ssss's spinning a ... warning? fate ... and He who designed ... and knowing oneself ... with a powerful declaration of self, "For, without His and my divinity / I am no more than alone." beautiful ...

    I am so pleased that you heard my voice. Kinship is good. I'll try to put forth better efforts.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
