Thank God.  

You are irreplaceable.
Nothing can replace the Light that you are.

Money is nothing!  Money doesn’t own you,

It has no claim over who you are!

Money is a part of this game. We are stuck in a silted nightmare, sifting through a small hole.  None of it is real.

And we wonder why lives are vacant of peace and ridden with sorrow…

Imagine an endless ocean.  
This ocean is clear,
A pure love more real and beautiful than one can now grasp…
All I see are stars bright with the fire of promise.

yet you ARE this ocean.
You are a part of this bright ocean,
connected to it forever in fact…  
Who you are is a bottle filled with a bit of ocean.

You are floating in the sea of God.  
Know that you are contained within this bottle,
and always immersed in God.  Know this.  
This body is a container.  
Your soul, a single light, is but a steward for this vessel.  
This bottle is a gift- to yourself and others. All others are your gifts too.
See the Love shining through…
Who you are is timeless.  

Thank God.

This Love can never be replicated.  Each strand of love, though tying all these bottles together like a net, is unique.  In a wonderful way that is ineffable and wholly profound. Know this. The purity of the water remains forever.  This love is but a fraction, a faction in the Holy, an ocean within a tear. Endless revisions and decisions, indecisions and visions can be reversed in but a minute.  This is eternity!  Never Fear!  Fear not. For God has never left you. I will be with my mom once again.. in all manner of Beauty and Joy.

Truth is tireless.

Right here, a small space filled with knowing.

Just know, I say.  
Faith distills calm into wounds tipped by crimson waves of rage.  
Love is more integral to Earth
than words will ever be.

Laughter is the Grace of God.

I am tracing the path unuttered by any mouth.

Love is God.
God is Life.
Life is Love.

I like the ideas and thoughts here. I feel you may have lost some in the phrasing. with just a few tweaks it would be awesome!

Pardon the (free) form of this poem.. i wrote it after having a beautiful spiritual discussion with my darling friend karen.  our talk was inspired by me getting in a car accident. i was ok, but my car was seriously messed up.  which was going to put a financial burden on my dad...
i started "tripping" when she turned to me and said, "You are irreplaceable.  A car can be replaced, but nothing can EVER replace you." we talked about a lot of things that night, and it was a gift to my heart. we ARE blessed. all these material things mean NOTHING in the face of LOVE, the ultimate reality. the love of god is with us always, though it may not manifest itself in an apparent way... an avenue WILL be revealed... and if your soul is simply genuine, you will be shown the way. i am blessed. Thank You.
