BellaOnline Forums Religion and Spirituality Spirituality A POEM FOR BURT B

I wrote this for Burt while resting on my bed, meditating and thinking about my friends here.

I often write when I am in pain. It is a way of 'redirecting' negative energy into positive action.
----------------------------------------

Burt, this is for YOU!

He sits with head upon his knees, his heart aches with the pain of misunderstanding, but his soul is forever soaring into a search for the LIGHT!

As he grows older, the pain increases. The words of his lips and the thoughts of his heart go far beyond
the understanding of ordinary Men -

What do they know of spiritual gifts? Their minds and hearts are focused on MONEY and PLEASURE! Their goals are POWER and GREED!

But not this sensitive soul who has been blessed with a glimpse into Eternity, and its everlasting TRUTH!
He has the heart of a child, which the Master Jesus said one must have to enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

What does the material world know of that? NOTHING!

Through painful years and heartbreaking lessons of life, he never lost the faith! His heart never wavered!
He bears the mark of DIVINE LOVE in his soul, and he can never be cast out from the Divine Presence.

Now, his light shines for all to see, and hear, and he brings peace to the seekers, and joy to the One they seek!
No longer is he laughed at. No longer are his loving ways scorned by the foolish and ignorant.

He is a son of the Creator, as we all are,
but he KNOWS it!

Thank You Deanna. When I first started this God seeking business, I got all kinds of grandiose ideas of how God was going to use me..

Well, I am sure glad He sent you here to us. What a delightful joy!

I appreciate how all all of you ladies of the flame of the heart esteem me, but it is not me.. It is the God within you and the God within me that you must esteem.

I'm not in the public eye -- I thought that's where God needed me.

I don't want to be superstitious, but do you think radiating out harmonious thoughts and feelings will be of assistance to the planet ?

I don't do much other than try to be who I AM...

I never wanted to hurt anybody, but a whole bunch of people wanted to hurt me, so I withdrew from society.

I think radiating out light, love, and desire for peace is of assistance to the planet.

When people show/express love and friendship, it can give others the courage to be open about feelings for each other. Is that not what God would want us to do? Love our Brothers and Sisters.

It is you we love, you we cherish as a friend. It is our Creator whom we thank for bringing us together.

It is the God within each of us that allows us to be open about what is in our hearts.

We do intend to put you up on a pedestal, Burt, and worship you. We have listened to your story and have endeavored to let you know that you are a child of the Universe, just as we are, that you are worthy of love and friendship.

You are no more, nor no less then each of us. We are each worthy of love and friendship.

To see you come out and enjoy the sunshine with us is a joy.

Onealone, what a beautiful poem! Does it help the pain when you redirect it?

Burt, I don't think you're the only one who ever had a grandiose idea about being an expression of God

And I do believe that radiating harmonious energies out to the planet is always a good idea.

Some friends and I gathered last night to celebrate the full moon, and we made pendulums. We talked about using them to change frequencies of negative situations... making more harmony

And Phyllis, that was so beautifully put... we are worthy and loved, and it's good to remind ourselves of that.

I do carry the burden and the pain of the universal father seeing my children fight and squabble over material things.
When if the just would put their attention upon the GOD within them after becoming born of the spirit through Christ Jesus the LORD -- they could have everything that they want need and desire here and in the hereafter.

ONEALONE -- A touching poem for Burt, so beautifully expressed. Hope you are feeling better every minute!

OneAlone, Deanna & Phyllis - Amen Sisters! There is nothing to add. All is as it should be.

So true is the statement c/o Deanna....
"And I don't think we can really miss the boat, as far as serving God goes. We serve how we are meant to serve, and we sometimes get different ideas about how we should be serving. But I don't think it's about how we think we want to serve, it's about how we are meant to serve. "

Sometimes we have these ideas in our head, things that we want to do, people we want to become, a career we think is perfect for us, but then it comes down to how we were meant to serve.

Burt B your spark is contagious and ignites us.

You are a warrior and the head billy goat of this herd with your inspiring ruminations.

YOU DID NOT MISS THE BOAT!!
In fact I'll let you in on a little secret: we're all in the same boat...with the same final destination, no?

Selah.

PS Deanna - what kind of pendulums did you make??

My Dad taught me how to divine for water.. they have a special name for it, but I forgot.

Connie made a pendulm out of a pencil and string and told her daughter Melissa when she was a rebellious teen that she was going to have a boy and a girl... she pulled her hand away and said, " Hell no.. I'm not having any kids at all "!!!

hehe We enjoy Kace and Skye to this day !!!

It is yummy in the tummy and solar plexus too to be around folk who walk the walk and talk the talk..
A fake society and a fake civilization... it's up to people like us to change it.
A Wounded Healer I shall be like Hiawatha !

Selah = Pretty !! !!!
