To: You; From: God

To: You
From: God

I am Love; I conquer and devour everything in my path * I am almost always misconstrued * I have as many definitions as there are people in this world * Most paint a picture of me; all good, * All so peaceful and happy, painless * But it's false; I am pain and pleasure * Sadness and happiness * I am anger and humility * I am birth and death * I am not packaged up in a square box wrapped in silky ribbon * I am round and eternal and change with the seasons * I am endless limitless timeless * You may think you created me * But I created all the love that is me * So when you pass by and think you discovered me * Such a beautiful thing * I ask you please don't attempt to claim me
I claim you * Destiny is for me to make * And for you to take,.... or leave
And you will walk my path * You will feel my wrath * You will be charmed * Pleased burdened and bitter * You will try to numb yourself * You want to cut away the half of me that takes you through the pain * And keep all that feels good and comfortable * Secure and safe * You try to hold on saying life is good *God is good but as soon as you * Feel comfortable you take me for granted *You become like the resistant mountain * Wanting to stay in the same place *High above the world * When you should be humble like the river that you look down upon * Passing beneath you, moving around you * While you a fool, feels that you are king * And the river bowed down to you * When really it was giving itself to me * For it will be that river that will come back around * As a tidal wave to break you into pieces * And you will have no choice but to * Drift down the river along with all the other broken elements *

Love is a river flowing with effortless ease
Don't be afraid, just give yourself to me
Before I take it, don't worry let go
I know you are afraid and you don't want to be abandoned
I told you HURT you most definately would be, but alone not ever
I will never leave your side, above beyond or within
I will be there through in and throughout
You are just looking at the same place all the time
If you would just see that I only moved around
If you don't see me there, you will see me here
Always faithful loyal and eternal, the pain will turn into pleasure if you let go
And give yourself to me
You may try to protect yourself
But you might as well humble yourself
And know, that I am

GOD

Be still and know that I am God

man this piece was a work of art....the imagery with the mountain and river become a captivating metaphor for me because I see this in everyday life.....goes back to Matt. 5:5 (the meek shall inherit the earth)......humble is the style of the day....I was very much inspired by this poem of yours....it flowed smoothly and didnt suggest one way over the other it just opened the door and left it up to the reader to enter....your balance of making GOD more multi deminsional was interesting as well.....people want to lower him to their standards when thats not the case at all......

I hope to see more of your work

Peace

Indeed my man this was the art of poetry.... I think the way you made it almost picture like was amazing kid the imagery really stuck out and would speak to almost anybody. Also for this type of poem the layout was almost perfect,and the whole concept of a letter from God to a person was just genius kid keep it up.

Eh, it could be better. It's not really my style. I like to rhyme more and add in a Hip Hop Element when I write. But it's somethin different. You gotta change it up, I suppose.
