A Colloquy Of Haiku Poem by Daniel Brick
A Colloquy Of Haiku
(I)
In this dry land we
must believe in something Good
that will quench our thirst.
I must proclaim it:
I do believe in one God.
Such is my firm faith.
From my early days
I have felt close a tender
and loving presence.
Here in our garden
stands a solitary tree
whose fruit is most sweet!
Who has so blessed us?
It is our God who cares for
all creatures on Earth.
(II)
I too thirst within.
We are not so far apart;
together we search.
I too need heart's ease:
what you call faith I call hope.
It's the Earth that gives.
Something shines with love:
Mother Earth pours forth riches
for all her children.
Where you see stretched forth
the Hand of God Almighty
blessing His creatures,
with eyes just as keen,
I see just the Hand of Fate
fulfilling our needs.
Mother Earth indeed pours out her many benedictions. This, ]]Love Story[[ with the Earth, is full of great convictions. Beautifully written poem, in form and substance, great work!
Mother Earth pours forth riches for all her children.....lovely expression.
The two positions are not totally at loggerheads, so they should be able to offer insights to each other. As a nature-lover, I am aware that natural laws are beautifully interwoven, thus providing a material substrate for life. No wonder I feel that the cosmos is marvelous and magical. Supposing that life is divinely created, can we not say that the mind of the Creator is a place where natural laws are elegantly interwoven so that life can unfold?
Perhaps the two sides can move closer together this way: SPARKS OF DIVINITY ARE AT WORK IN NATURE'S MATERIAL SUBSTRATE...NATURAL LAWS MESH ELEGANTLY IN THE MIND OF THE CREATOR
This concept of colloquy I loved so much.Thank you for sharing.
Who feeds: God-Father - Nature- Mother. Hope - Faith Blessing by God - fulfilling our needs by Fate.. You seem to avoid the word God. I often meet in men that they have difficulties with it, and they just can't pray to men, to fathers, etc. they better choose Mary for this. all the Monasteries for men are in the Name of God's Mother Mary. I have the similar difficulty - I better pray to men than women. Praying to women, although saint, disturbs me somehow...
Amazing conversation, Daniel! Filled with truth and ingenuity far beyond any debate, as two people travel together fulfilling their purposes in life, setting them free from the barriers and restrictions imposed on them through an argumentative debate! Love this poems willingness to listen and respond intuitively! Thank you so much for sharing this one! RoseAnn
