Where We Ought to Be
Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem
At times we feel like God. At times we feel
Like us, just humans, men and women, not
Like God. At times, though this is quite surreal,
We think that we are both at once. That fraught
Phenomenon is like satori in
A sage. At moments when both normal time
And God’s eternity are more than twin
Inside us, we pierce through to planes sublime.
When mortal days and eons that belong
To Christ find fusion, substances impinge
Together. Then their essences are strong
Enough meld. Divine and human hinge.
..The infinite and finitude connect.
….Then everything at last becomes correct.
