when i was little i saw the Christ
i told my pastor
he said i was blessed
it brought me to a deeper understanding of prayer
when i was a bit older i saw Mary the mother of God
i told the lady sitting next to me
she took a picture
we both became closer to our mother
and brought to us even deeper understanding of prayer
then as i grew older
getting to know myself better
i looked up to heaven
and saw the great Thunder Bird
thinking to myself
this is he who brings my prayers to God
in the talons never to let loose
these are just a few things
that happened on my road to enlightenment
and i think
this is why people ask me to pray
for them and others
i know that these are just a few stepping stones
to the oneness with my Creator
bringing me back to the start
when i was little i saw the Christ

Thank you for your entry and sharing with us part of your enlightenment with the visions and the clairvoyance that has been gifted upon you. You have developed it enough for them to connect with you in so many ways and there is nothing like the power of prayer..Sounds like your journey has just begun my dear friend and nothing could be a better reward than what has already been given to you.
Love, Life and Light~

cool story thanks for sharing and for praying for others
"be a light on to others" your doing as the lord asked and i hope you are blessed many times. -
I love the imagery here and the message that you're trying to convey. But the rhythm is kind of off...There seems to be lacking in the poem's flow, which takes away from it, but not much. I still think this was a wonderful piece. Thank you for sharing!

Wonderfully beautiful piece of poetry, my friend! Thank you for sharing! The best of luck to you in the contest!

Very beautiful poem. It is filled with so much passion. I liked how it had a circle where the first line and the last line were the same. Which just confirmed your faith.

Excellent poem
What a wonderful poem, it brought a tear to my eye, and I thought of in Gods eyes anything is possible. You are such an inspiration to me. I know that God has always been there for me if he was not I would not be here writing this to you now. Thank you for the most inspiring poem. It made my day. -
Brilliant imagery, and fantastic rhyme and pace, I love this story - good luck.

God is there and we can feel the pinch.
God is everywhere and this is a cinch
Spiritual calamities vagaries of life
Friendly moments cut like a knife
For whom does the bell toll
For whose head does roll
Away from the miseries that call
Closer to realities that befall
I am but a foolish faithful man
I pray I hope like I only can
A simple being am I
Worshipping the third eye
Peace doesnt befriend
Worries do comprehend
Then everything I gave
Marching towards my grave
Bereft on any burden on me
I walked into the calm sea

Excellent
This was such a wonderful, wonderful poem all that I can say is that the stregth of the lord will allways rise above the strength of evil in the world. I do not know if you know allready but I must tell you something very important, we ARE in the end of days. The signs are all around us search and you will find what you are looking for.

WOW! Good imagery here. I love the visions you have shared with us here. You are doing so very well by helping others through your power. That is what really enlightenment is. To be of service to others as much as you can and then you really have become One with the creator and He shall bless you so much for the same good deeds. Good karma will come back tenfold. Be blessed!
Love,
Charishma
