God is a Word

God is a word laughed at by many, worshiped in fear by others, and understood by just a few. You may find this a presumptive thing to say, but save your suspicions for what I next submit to you: it is not the human animal that is in need of God, but God who is in need of we. You and I, each of us, are God's only hope for holy mortality. To die -- that is the destiny of we creatures trapped in time. But our bodies are not cages; they are folds in the face of a living God, whose mission is escape from the icy stillness of eternity. Only we human animals, we speaking beings, can meet our death willingly, as if sharing in a dream made real upon awakening. Light is God's earliest attempt at dying. The sun's rays raised life from within the earth, and its warmth incubated the wisdom there still to bloom. Eternity was patient, until finally, there was born an I for the light of death to shine on: the human animal knows God from within as the call the live with love while growing old, to shed one's skin as an ouroboros, akin to the fateful tides of time.

@Scorner99 truly understood by no man :-)

oh and no one is "just a mortal"

@GodisLight11 look in the mirror. the light of judgement is bright and it illuminates much. it is easy to shine this light on others but very hard to shine it in your own eyes without going blind. the new age religion is just that; another religion as is luciferianism.

poetic! eternity seeking the experience of mortality through us.. god seeking a the experience of a dying light through us beautiful, man.

[izzigogo]

God is not in need of us, God does not need us for his mortaility, God is all power and He is mortal with or without us.---other than not clearly seeing what you mean, you did put it in good verses and very well done. But the truth is very important to be told correctly.

[Scorner99]

Overall, I find this poem impressive. But how is the first statement a "presumptive" thing to say? I'm sure most people would agree that God is laughed at by a lot of people, worshipped in fear by others, and "understood" by only a few.

I think you would count as one of my favorite people.
