A Plea To The Divine
I call to the divine
with all my heart
Today let me feed my spirit
the feast is on the table
yet I've been starving my soul
While stuffing my flesh
plenty of food, trash t.v.
alcohol and weed
Hoping not to see
the skeletal remains of my being
I see now it's all up to me
stand up and fight
embrace life and the beauty that is
Love those around me
choose to allow the divine
to flow through me
While feeding my soul the sustenance
it so sorely needs
I know then and only then
will I truly know peace

ty Gypsy for such a beautiful comment..I love your writing so I take your comments to heart..peace Crim :)
Crim,
You realize man can not live just on bread alone. You see you need spiritual enlightment from your heavenly father.
You emotions flow so nicely and that is why I love this piece.
Hugs to you.

To me, this wonderful poem is mistitled. It ought to be a plea to yourself. On another front, why is your being "skeletal?" Isn't your being your being, with no form or shape? Being at peace, a psychological statis, and "being" are different, of course. I'm not sure, in reading the poem, which one you want. Both? Peacefulness is like the clouds--they come and go and we can observe them if we want. Grap peace for a while and see how fleeting it is. Peace will wander but it will return while you are watching. Good poem.
