New poem: "As God in Heaven Deemed

 

As God in Heaven Deemed

 

It’s too terrifying to even think, but every

few years (every few weeks lately) it comes

to mind, the idea that the most known, the most

loved, the most worshipped being in history,

did not die on the cross for the sins of the world,

but to short-circuit soul’s evolution and quicken

our destined purpose to spiritual self-realization

wholeness; but how dare I, a content, little-known

poet living in quiet seclusion in Georgian Bay,

Ontario with no worldly credits to my name, save

my own journey of self-discovery, presume to even

think that the world’s greatest teacher’s ignoble

death upon the cross was to teach the world

that self-sacrifice, the soul-making way of dying

to what we are not, makes our worldly ego self

and inner soul self into one self, indivisibly

whole and complete, perfect as God

in heaven deemed?
