I once tried to run away from God; I wanted to escape
his burning gaze, burning with wisdom and fire and compassion.
But the ocean is bigger than I, and all the waves and breakers
whipped across my fragile heart and passed over
my crumbling bones, until all that remained was a leaping fire
reaching for its source

This makes me want to run to and from God at the same time. Absolutely breathtaking. If you have more poems, or anything at all, please put it on the site! I'd love to read them!!

Superb writing. Absolutely beautiful. It speaks with such conviction and clarity. I know that it is cheesy, but I was holding my breath. Anyway, this is truly insightful and rings with intense power. Wow, wow, wow. Add to favs. 5 stars. Would you please comment on my work titled Contemplative Beaches and Humanity's Saving Grace? I would love to hear your take on them!! :)
