Choices Poem by Gerry Legister

Will our choices make a difference?
If we live for ourselves or to forgive others,
Though buffeted by agitated wind and tide,
Driven by faith to take responsibility serious,
Is it an earthly calling from higher altitude?
To make the right choice; choosing not to lose
The connecting medium between God and man,
Grant glimpse to see images of the future
If the human spirit is given a second chance,
And face the mirror; can it change the world?
To make us look younger and live a little longer,
Must we celebrate the treasures in a trance?
Surrender to mankind the images in our mind
Or waken gladly to distinguish it from all other.
The glories of heaven conceal hidden cost,
Cast everything below, but hastily look above
The sky is the mirror which holds our future
Being with fortitude hope will never be lost.
Dare to dream by esteeming earthly wisdom,
knowledge alone was never soul satisfying.
Especially if we find the hidden kingdom,
Whether or not the choices we made were right,
We must accept our mistakes and in passion
Eclipse apocalypse of the daunting Holy Grail.
Another world exist aware of this torment,
And yearn for the former lust as treasures,
For the choices we made guaranteed no bail.
But what we know resembles grand allusions
In messages flash strange images of the future,
Representing the state of the world we are in.
Invite crazed delusions to channel the mind,
Sunk beneath the tempest dangled danger zone,
Prosperity doing harm; charm disloyal crimes,
We try to ride out the storm in confidence.
Breaking promises every time to our children
Had we the right mind we could have won,
When we had lived and everything was fine,
With the weight of sin inevitable grief must come.
