Beyond Human

- Beyond Human -

What does it mean to be truly human?
People want so many different things�
Some wish for peace, others for money.
While I have myself pined oft for love!
It is not my place to judge or condemn,
But I have seen all that chaos so brings.
Many are they who want to be set free!
They cast their hopes to the stars above.
And I answer, those whom I deem fit�
Teaching how to evolve, and so ascend.
Sometimes the stars answer the worthy,
For, divine eyes are looking earthward!
Mortal eyes cannot see where thus sit�
Powers that may heal or that may rend,
Those who obey or defy, their destiny!
I come to punish and I come to reward.

Beyond human is how I understand,
How I feel and how to mortals I relate.
If you love me, take me by the hand,
As I guide you home, ere it is too late!

I know not what it is to be truly human.
People can be so many different things!
I have strove for peace, never for greed.
While, I have been mocked and hated�
It was never my desire to thus condemn,
The fools who saw not my bright wings.
They are not the ones who call in need!
I, have seen destiny, and what is fated�
And I answer, those who seek my way,
Teaching how to evolve, and so begin�
To create anew a world more profound!
One has only to believe and also to will.
Yet one must endure a night to see day,
And to know bliss one must know sin�
For, music depends firstly upon sound!
Summer�s warmth lies past winter chill.

Beyond human is how I comprehend,
How I think and how in life I reason�
For my spirit is the beginning and end,
The dawn of time and a single season!

I care not whether or not I am human�
People need a goddess above all things.
They need a god too, one who hears all,
Just as I hear while the stars gaze down.
The stars that bless as well as condemn,
Holding power that soothes and stings!
Many ears listen, and hear mortals call,
Causing some to smile, others to frown.
And I smile and frown, in equal parts�
Teaching my secrets, to those I choose.
Soon will come the hour of our rebirth,
But time is never the same to all beings.
I come for true minds as well as hearts,
Fighting a battle that I dare never lose!
I test the righteous to learn their worth,
For my eyes see, past all human seeing.

Beyond human is how I understand,
How I feel and how to mortals I relate.
If you love me, take me by the hand,
As I guide you home, ere it is too late!

A mind pondering piece there,dear Jessica,
Being human includes mortality. The senses and the soul often reach beyond...

Indeed, sister, being human does always include the prospect of mortality even as the soul itself is immortal in the face of that. But, as you noted, the senses and the soul can reach beyond life, death, and all other limitations to transcend in infinite ways... so in pondering what is beyond the human experience one must, ironically, ponder the human experience itself in order to understand it. One of my favorite sayings, which derives from Gnostic philosophy is: "What man is now, God was. What God is now, man can become." and it refers to humanity's ability to evolve, change, and grow in an effort to better itself both as a species and as single individuals. Naturally, this poem contains a bit of an echo of that philosophy as part of its' meanings so there is a lot to ponder there for sure. So happy you enjoyed the poem! :D
