Love Poem: Heart of Experience

Heart of Experience

I've spent my entire life avoiding
becoming a material man, the
tentacles of competition growing out
of my heart, fed by the springs of my
soul...

functioning as some mythical creature, lassoing 
and capturing passing ships of my environment,
controlling my reach of eternal sea – 

it is the disease of the spirit, 
not to nurture, but to conquer....

Statesmen are not politicians,
the scourge of humanity

leaders are not dictators nor kings

missing a crown of thorns,

the crown of love...one cannot love
the world and God in the same heart
of experience...

to govern...to rule...

is to remain slave to your Body of Fears....

(We live within our lines (EXPRESSIONS)...tracks on our arms, neighborhoods, political parties, nationalities and wealth (which is thought to be safety and power -- what we don't do in abundance, is live WITHIN Christ's body -- a body of pure love)
