O.K. here is a long poem. Grace the Dove lady wrote it in 1998, a time when many poems came to her. I was singing a song that Shari Lewis had Lambchops sing, and it turned into a poem for me. So here goes. Warning. It is very long.



This is the poem that never ends
It just goes on and on my friend
One day I started writing it
Not knowing what it was
And I continued writing it forever just because

I know you want this poem to end
For it to not begin again
And I’m going to end it soon
The message to ensue
Will show you that your acting out
A cycle like this too.

For so many do complain
Talk about their grief and pain
We’ve been talking about it now
Since day one did begin
For when we split the cell in two
We started saying me and you

Mine and Thine became our theme
And mine, not thine, we echoed too
It happened each and every time
When we got into fear
The fear you see became control
Saying things would make them so

So we began then to create
And we created with our fear
Thinking that there was a you and me
Our oneness disappeared
Until our fears piled up so high
We forgot our descent from the sky.

Pretty much we were earthbound
And we keep going round and round
We didn’t realize that with our words we could create
So when we put our brother down
Those words we said, they would rebound.

You know that fear turns into hate
And yes with hate we could create
We had thought that we were only
Trying to survive
And so we thought of many ways
In order to provide

Security became our quest
And so we started to devise
There were oh so many things
Our minds were cooking up
The fun we had,, the terror too
The dramas then that would ensue

We came into a time of fear
Cause we no longer knew our place
Had been to be a God descended from above
We didn’t know our mission here
Was to become the Love

We wanted only to survive
And many times in order to
We would take from others what they were
Holding in their hand
We forgot that our purpose here
Was to serve our fellow man

So we started to complain
About all the grief and pain
And our talking about the things
Our eyes would look upon
Made things not change
Our words you see
Were creating our reality.

So I am writing this long poem
It’s my way to make it plain
To get a lot of us to just start looking at our thoughts
The way you know to get control
Is to lose the fear but then you know,

It won’t happen if we allow
Ourselves to be choked up with fear
And recounting all the things we see as being bad
The telling of it ore and ore
It’s such a pain, it’s such a chore.

To talk about them is just like
This poem that goes forever on
Forever we could talk about
The things we’re calling wrong
Until we finally realized, it’s taking way to long

So I have made a long long poem
To show you of our Father’s plan
Not to call the things we see
For that’s not the way of God
For we can call what is not
Just as though it were.

And you know what we can say
“My words will not return unto me void
But they will go out there
To accomplish all my will
I call it done
I call it good
And I call it in the name of “ME”

For we are Gods you see
No need to call it blasphemy
In his image we were made;
We are creators too
Our words you see
They are the key
To changing our reality

So we must watch that little tongue
For it is set on fire of hell
For the hell we make, we’re living in it now
And we can make another choice
That’s what we’re here to do

We will have heaven on earth
We are here to bring the birth
For we are the Sons of God
The world is waiting for
We’re bringing light and light is truth
And truth is Love
Unconditional Love

Unconditional Love we have
We don’t call things good or bad
We have no rules to make you follow
Nor forms of control
We won’t possess
We won’t dictate
We’ll show you how to
Give up the hate

You know sweet Earth’s evolving too
And though the workers may be few
You see it only takes a few you know
To get it done so all will know
And we can have heaven below

When we learn just how to walk
When we finally walk our talk
We’ve been going round and round you see
But now it’s time for mastery
And it begins with you and me

So let it all begin with you
You know your heart knows what to do
We’ve been playing round and round with this
And there is waiting so much bliss
Only listen to your feelings now

Don’t try to intellectualize
Don’t only look with physical eyes
For the Spirit wants to move in you
Mother Earth is pushing through
She loves the help that comes from you.

And now the world is speeding up
For kindergarten school is through
The bell has rang for all to hear
The message we make clear
We’re proud to say, no more delay
The end is near, the end is near.

Now we are going to graduate
We’re going to lift our banners high
And embrace the joy and all is well
There is no devil, there is no hell
There is only God
And God is Love

And the complaining all will end
And then my poem will dissipate
The fear that’s given us such hell on earth
Recognizes now the light
There’s no more fear, there’s no more night

And the gates are opened wide
There’s no place for fear to hide
And everyone will say
I need not belief
I know I’m love, unconditional love
God has descended from above

We have risen up to meet
Our resurrection is complete
Now as below, so, up above
The world is filled with so much love
Of which there is no end.

Oh yes, there’s more of this to come
But for now the poem is done……

Oh, about time!
