pronoia of God

that thing on the moon
gathering data
with homesick mind
twin centers of humanity
clustered
babyhood
trained by silence
gazing intently northward
composed of some semblance
of flying men
what follows that
brand upon me?
simultaneously drawn
like frozen marble
burning whiteness
the will to know
rising on swells
beginning to build
growths of mangroves
timeshared pyramids
strewn invisible but
with vast forces
of sacred places
panic stricken, threatened
yet, to infected to turn back
like caution slipping through
my fingers, a faint chanting
of waves rolling over rocks
somewhere
enormous rapture
deep breasted
an archaic movement
thrusting me back
back beyond the curious
gesture of a mother's
distance
suggesting great power
she points to a place
void of dreams
man's reasoning
a monster oddly sullen
admitting supernatural
fabricated for the
half wondering
there
were lights but no sighs
of life
the rose concealing
its mighty sea gate
she is of memory
dynastic name of race
ancient, tinted smooth
but peculiar to man
oddly, frozen electricity
neighboring guilt
for thrusting stones into
the courtyard ancient
formation, entirely inaccurate
gentile women
who fed the eucharist meal
I know the affirmations
denied
faith and chastity
are things
no man can claim
the anima voice of god,
becomes the animas, and it
appeared before the prophet
in feminine form
it was much deeper than man
could account
man was smitten with power
dripping like prophetic
visions from his mouth
saliva
let us witness
violence against
her body, claiming power
opinionated struggle
of a spiritual journey
I don't believe woman
to be lower case
offering but physical intimacy
there is so much more
elements common
to man, that man could not suffer
without
mediator of wisdom
are ethics of freedom
thru spiritual development
brings unity apart from
gender status
human suffering
is caused by man alone
integral with the spiritual
escaping the counterfeit
enslaving souls
in ignorance
through sexual
& biased domination
over prophetic oracles erased
yet the dead is alive

remarkable
how much
indication breathes
upon the survived
well
organized
endeavors to
stab
torture
and wipe away
the anima

First, I thought, "pronoia?"

Does she mean Paranoia? Then I thought for what seemed like an eternity but was actually a minute or so, that if God is ominiscient and ominipotent, why would God be paranoid? ZAP--yanno?

So I thought I'd look it up, and nope, it wasn't in the dictionary--but it WAS in the encyclopedia. (Now I ask you, how can a word have an entire index listing and not even rate a dictionary entry? Doesn't make sense, but it's early and I'm grumpy.)

and YOU MADE ME THINK...OUCH

and for everybody else:

and I loved the timeshare pyramids Lee.

You, me, and some peyote?

Oh YEAH, lady!

Every single line of you is worthy of a conversation.

(and even if you meant "paranoia", consider the typo divine intervention, because the explanation is insightful, fitting and lovely) Miss you lady.

I'm always left wondering as to the wanderings of your mind, the depths of imagery and the intricate thought patterns you present. This multi-layered write is no exception! LeeJ, thank you for sharing!!!

And thanks to our sister serenity for provding that 'pronoia' link! I had similar initial thoughts regarding the word spelling, wondering about the big G's paranoia.

I swear, your a  hoot

this is about the ancient cover up of women's strength in Christianity and leadership...to this day, this very day, some men fear strength, confidence and wisdom in women.  and I don't know why, cuz woman is the other half of them, yanno?

anima, animus

miss ya to

many thanks to all of you for taking a looksee

I believe in God, most certainly, but believe Woman was also created in HIS image and surpressed by fear, used, and tormented for thousdands of years.  They were feared by the men of Religion, mostly...and thousands were tortured for being out spoken (wise and had a concept for spirituality)  

It is not only about sexual intimacy...people have been looking for their better half for years...when all along, that better half exists deep inside of them....

the concept of a woman being married to Jesus is not all that absurd....

God is a just God...surpressing woman, was man's demise and separation from spirituality, let alone, understanding it.

maybe that is why some men (not all) are so weak?  They are contantly looking for that true love...yet, upon finding it, completely and purposely sabotage it, going forward, to another, then another...and another, not understanding, what lies within


Happy Easter Everyone

I knew the moment I opened your poem, that I would have been fascinated and stuck and stirred and in awe of your poetic richness.

This is all so interesting, that I will surely be back to read it all over.

Love,
Margherita

okay...I read this when you posted but didn't want to be the first one replying...I wanted to wait to hear what others said...

and really, right now,
I am a sheet to the wind
and can't begin to comprehend
but I'll be back in time again

great piece here, I know it...but need to absorb it more fully when I am in my right mind
