the God Cage

November 7, 2007

We frame God
in a cage of words
like a monkey
begging for coins.

    Well said.
    I have always felt that in trying to define and understand God, we attempt the impossible.

    Dear christine, wordlywise, and juxtafem,
    Thank you for commenting.

    I sometimes think that poems try to transcend the prison of this central nervous system existence. They are a curious mix between yin/yang, rational/irrational, left/right, and so on as if fighting fire with fire – duality with duality . Poems bang on glass walls shouting Hey What About This! Hey Look At That!
