LIVE IN US

LIVE IN US

  With our first breathe came the dawn Of consciousness and of existence A child is born unto us Lord, live then in him   The child beholds thy great name Your love and steadfastness Far beyond the reach of men Lord, direct his infallible ways   Your powers are made manifest in creation

Thy only son worthy of sacrifice and salvation

And we your children have come to thee Lord, let us live in thee   For thy true knowledge And proper understanding of your holy name O! Incomprehensible God Lord, live then in us.

Another good one from the Grandmaster,this is so succinctly said,with the message so clear and ministering to the inner mind,especially the plea tone at the last stanza.Thank you.

Iboro, there are so many things between our beliefs

Religion the chief one of them, yet I find your compassion and respect exceeds most boundaries. Not to mention that you are a very fine poet. I could quibble with you on some of the moral boundaries you have set in some of your other poems, especialy in your home page. But I would be demeaning myself. You are a true poet of love. But don't get complacent, if any of your moral stances offend me I will fight you tooth, nail and much worse, with words. cheers, Jess

Yes, Jess...

First, I owe my progress in this site to you. I call you father, not on basis of age, but because I have picked you my mentor, my guardian and above all my friend. Thank you for being there. So, I take what you say to me seriously. I love you. Second, I can not identify myself with any religion because it has been hijacked by chalatants. I respect all religions. I give them their spaces and take what I consider good out of them, I also expect them to give me a small space to be. I vote for spirituality because that is what endures, and that is where you and I connect. That deep inward journey into self that links all humanity. I am ready and willing to take bashing from you and infact, from anybody because it will make me strong. Like I said before, I try to detatch myself from what I have written in order to be able to correct the faults arising from my imperfections and limitations. English is my second language and if I did not go to school, I will not be able to speak or write in English. I have great difficulty even as I write. When You throw your punches, I will take the heat. Check out what 'A Dying Worm' which I posted sometime ago says. Above all Thank you once again for being there for me and best wishes. Iboro

Sir, this is great…it

Sir, this is great... it is more and more of a prayer to God... it could be a standard prayer, I think... when we confess our inner self... maybe....just kiding... but it is graet... "Do you teath Poetry?" Golly

Thank you for reading this piece which I do not consider great as poetry, except in its content and reference to God Almighty. I don't know whether I 'teath' poetry, But I would give everything for poetry. I think I am still far away in realising my dream concerning poetry, So I humbly submit myself to learn and to be taught. T.
