Analysis of Natures gift



Something alive and new
Enters the scene for the very first time

Whether from a brief amorous encounter
Loving feelings nurtured with great care or not

As we are By nature inclined
On our collective journey through times

Drifting purposely along our pathway
As the oceans of the universe, flow

Carry us in the eddies
Oblivious of its temporal shift

As we spend our lifetimes
As mere sparks among tides of matter

Which come and go Thought to us Seem
As infinite as suns We call stars  

Herd planetary systems of matter
In what may seem like To us

To be aimlessly scattered
In truth only seeds planted

By the eternals perfectly balanced
Miraculous design

As we gape in awe at the nature of things
We cannot ever quite understand

Because our reference points
Are hopelessly distant

From the grasp of our abilities
To pinpoint get the gist

Insightful, understandings
Instead of the usual Careless charge

Into the unknown Despite the risk
Of uncovering something

Which holds ominous consequences
Bearing swift judgment with often

Terribly disastrous returns
On this colony ship of mankind.

Like a candle Burning flesh for insight
True to course No doubt trials of heavenly design  

Here between star fields As our lives are played
On this eternal stage Where fortunes rise and fall

Is this a dream?

From where such small beginnings
Infinitive wonders have grown

A small package Of wants and needs
with watchful eyes and expressive smiles

Whether we imagine he or she
Looks more like you or me

Does things characteristic
of someone we all know

And somehow Seem to agree

This fountain of joy continues to grow
into someone like us

As if we didn’t know This is the test
Each one continues the climb

From the first day we draw breath
until the last

This is life’s challenge
To prepare, each one

As from one to another
Prepares the path

For the next
As we Do our best

A gift from the eternal ONE
Now makes each dwelling place A HOME

Ensue presenting pleasant vistas
Hidden treasures scattered/Found

along the path
where the life force is strong

along this journey Life

Deeper still
Than moments of perception

Where lovers pause to reflect
Briefly connect fertile minds and bodies

Diving into eternal pools
Each of us occupy briefly As we live

Bearing essence of being
in oceans of living matter

People who care Projecting of its truth
Rather than merely talking about Jesus

Provide loving proof Exemplify Enhance    
The gift of life Another chance for humanity

wholeheartedly loving one another
A blessed testing, 1,2, 3 Who are we?

Those Gifted of the Creator
not only to wear the crown

Bear the seed
Raise the new breed

Being far beyond shallow puddles
Those whose passions lie

Merely in games
purely pursuing pleasure

Yes life is such a dance
 And those by whose dalliances bear fruit

leaving trails of babies
While playing through Through nature’s chain

Leaving nothing left to chance
All to nothingness adrift

Of love seeds planted Not random
Yet freely sown Without a second thought

A prelude to romance?
Or a shot Fallen in the weeds

But seldom followed
Through*

*By an Amen/Or i Do
