Campfire Musings

Solo, I'm seated and feel

The Campfire glows

Then crackles in watchful thoughts

Burning with Life

Upon the night embers

"Miserere" is the fire and smoke

of memory's air

Flaming the mind
Repetitiously-

An onslaught from cyclic, daily malevolences

The Fabricated political weaving of Grace, Unity and Comfort

Fused with religious deception, shackles of man-made conformity

The Pied pipers of divisive theologies

Sheet Music created to control, not for saving, a soul

Sermons

Masterblasted by blowhards dressed in blowtorches impersonating golden candlesticks

The blind, deaf and mute to the truth,

The innocent and naive are caught up in those webs they weave

Conception is crushed

Confusion consumed

Conglomeration never complies

By Men that do not want to overcome their sin.....ever

The door leading to eternal life has only 2 pathways.

Only one is guaranteed.

On Earth

Life is too rushed

And the little left

is

Embedded in the brick of discontent

envy is the mortar

Greed lies covered in whitewash

Brainial beliefs stoke mankind's minimal minds

Questioning life and death and all
In between

Earth time

And

Your time

Internal vs External

Flesh vs Soul and Spirit

Existence, what is it

No one knows but gets an amnesia like taste of it in different forms

Those forms being like the wind

With no memory of origin or destination

Just because you can not see the wind

Does not nullify Existence

Carnality

Burns in hues of Reds and greens

dripping flames

They're doused and drained

Spiraling around perpetual darkness

In search of gain

Scorching
Even the coldest
Of concrete hearts

Caught inside the gloomed abyss they surrender themselves to

Many feel this way about the creator

To see is to believe

Simple isn't really as simple as it seems

Belief or unbelief

Faith or Fear

Beyond the Araphel-

there is god

Waiting-

On mankind

To either become the kadosh.....

Or go into unrepentant perdition

But God is kind

He allows choice

It matters not if one is chosen or not

Grace is a gift of the first resurrected-

A reward for achieving genuine belief.

Sincere proof of rebirth is in acts of righteousness

The hardest commandment to follow and obey is to Love each other

Those in the second resurrection

Fell short

Many never had a chance.

Deception put Many on the wider path

Still, of those in the second resurrection

All have a chance-

A chance truly understood

After death's
final roll call

Is complete

Earth's hourglass sand soon will end

I would suggest

To refine the flesh and rid your own soul's smoke

Put on the robes

of God's light

Which is

PURE

LOVE
