Trying to rise above God

(For Madame Chipmunk expanding on an answer to her comment to my poem, "Woman's hour")

"He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."
NIV Luke 11:18

The spirit of God has been ripped apart
Split into two sexes each with a heart
A man with a seed, a woman with womb
Captured in darkness in fleshly skin tombs.

As flames of desire in woman reach out
Man seeks to capture; what is it about?
She tries to reunite God's Unity
One complete spirit in heaven's far sea.

Each time she breaks into children of men
Spirit parts shattered; more pain spread again
As teachers of cloth call God's calling sin
God tries to unite when man goes within.

So then Christ was born of Virgin Mary
To reach broken spirit parts, contrary
Show ev'ry part of God's Broken Spirit
Must come back in love. Come people hear it!

For all of this pain and darkness we find
Was caused by man leaving woman behind.

Breaking and trying to rise above God.

What an AMAZING view of God, Newell....
You're probably right....
God is male and female...and I think there is God in all creatures.
Thanks for sharing.

BRAVO!!! WOW, OH MY GOSH, I TOO FELL THIS WAY SOMEHOW OF CREATION!!! I feel that man became kind of careless, and women were made to help men attach themselves closer together to Him and to complete their hearts with the beauty of love! (big hugggsssss) This is fabulous, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
