Are Living Things Pure Energy?

The answer seems obvious yet is not:
for all things originate in pure energy
yet all things created transmute energy,
thus no longer ‘pure’

Conceptually difficult to realize
for you and I are things also
and although they called it
“made in the image of God”
now we are but ‘things’ and no longer
do we comprehend the transition
we underwent:
and this they called “the fall of man.”

See a flower: is it pure energy?
No. It is now only a child of Earth
and of the seed from which it sprung.
All a part of the cycle of life in difference.

Pure energy creates the material;
determines the mind realms:
all of it is still pure energy
all of it fuelled from its Source
but now there is the ‘thing’
which would stand as a contradiction.

Life is an imponderable; a mystery.
In her mists she hides many shores of reality;
full of secrets, unknown even to herself
yet she does know everyone of her children.

It's the "everlasting" energy that is the mystery - bodies die, flowers die, but the creative mind (pure energy) can't possibly. Mind creates, life decimates the physical, and mind must then recreate. A never ending cycle, for sure.
Enjoyed your thoughts!

A great philosophical piece. You could retain this in essay form as well. It would be just as effective. Thanks for sharing. Take care. Liz...Carpe Diem
