I'm trying to learn how to use blogger....I'm getting the hang of it. I have so much now....my website, my facebook, my blog, twitter, my facebook page, google and now blogger....Man, I'm tired!
Here is a selected poem from "Inspirational Poems" one of my first poem books I wrote.
-
I will not believe-
The ghosts of the past come
creeping, crawling sending
back memories to my head-
I tell them to leave-
For I will not believe-
That they have power over me-
The ghosts of the past come-
When I can not sleep-
I tell them to go....
but they follow me into my dreams-
So I pray Lord, keep them away-
I get scared....I get angry....and
In a final moment of reality-
It comes to me-
They only have power, if I begin to hate-
Get angry and curse and let them run my mind-
So I shew them away-
Get happy and say-
I will not believe-
That they have power over me!

This poem reminds me of the two things I have learned when it comes to memories (1)memories help us see how we have developed our unique patterns of flight from God and framed paths of finding life without God.(2) Memories help us comprehend why we have chosen not to trust God. This is indeed a complicated issue for me, but I am learning that memories are data that help me see more clearly the energy I use to fuel my idolatry and how I have lived my life. I have given the issue of memory much thought because it is what I will be dealing with when I a therapist. Thank you for this very powerful poem.
