God, Joy, Love

Original typewriter poem by Chris the Poet

Original typewritten page for God, Joy, Love by Chris the Poet

Transcription

You were right when you said that God is not a word, because He's not... "A" word. He's THE word. The word that has dapped parched lips with healing water since man found himself in this desert called a world, The word that has brought joy into our hearts, a joy that has taught us to know peace, instructed us in patience, gifted us a knowledge of what's important to keep, like a covenant, between lovers, between sisters and brothers, The word is that self-same love, the only key to heaven here and now, heaven to come, the key to unlock the cage of being trapped within ourselves... God is love and God is light...or so a better poet said, Speak God and let love blossom, bloom, ripen like every flower and every fruit, Speak Love, and by every soul, God's presence will be felt.
