I was digging through some of my older poetry – and I came across this particular poem. Now, my memory is not what it used to be, but if I recall correctly – I wrote this poem – with the awesome Lisa Tamara – when I was on leave in the United States from my time in Germany with the United States Air Force. We both worked on this online through a local BBS, if I remember. To be honest, I do not have a lot of my older poems – so when I stumble across these older works – they are cherished memories that I enjoy reading through – and remembering the creative process that gave birth to them.
Deity Dwells Within
3 Jan 1994
written with Lisa Tamara
Throughout the ages
Of limitless time
Man has wondered
And looked to the sky
In times of crisis
When needs arise
Man has prayed
Staring to the sky
For unanswered prayer
Such shaken faith
Man curses the Gods
Shaken fist to the sky
Such selfish desires
Unfettered pride
Man seems never
To look inside
We are merely a reflection of the potential
for Deity dwells within us all…
