Poetry: The energy behind all life has to be God's love song to you

Does energy need to be focussed to be really strong?
What focusses, if it's found everywhere around, along?
Local focussing of it brings it into a point of itself, in you.
Energy is only energy, when, it's not only energy, but you.
Love focusses its energy in each part of creation.
Positive or negatively felt, it's all within our mind.
Love's energy is subtly neutral and never takes sides,
and yet the ride it takes you on never dies, or subsides.
Life supplies a type of energy, alive, but still raw.
We can refine it, toning it into line with God's love.
The rawness of soul grows into an unflawed diamond,
as God shapes and cuts it, fashioning it, life after life.
What is energy, but potentialised love becoming real,
unpotentialised before God gave it to you as his gift.
Sifting between life's positive notes and its negatives,
you make your own music out of the music God brings.

God provides the light and the love, but we have to plug them in to us to use them.
God's energy of love is behind all else.
I get energy from writing poetry. I was feeling a bit low today, so I had a go at writing this short poem that I have added here as a discussion piece.

Interesting poem but very deep and difficult to understand. Siva, seems to have grasped it. I think in a simpler way and find it a challenge. It is not a poem that can be grasped by most of us, since there are so few comments.

@innertalks But do you not find that this poem is riddled with riddles?

@1hopefulman Yes, I myself like to write this way.
I like to question things from both sides, and say something that sounds meaningful, but really is largely meaningless.
That's the riddle. I leave it to the reader to find their own meaning in the riddle, and to see where such a riddle might send them too.
I like my poetry to be profound, in ways so deep, that people are lost in them. I write to lose myself in them too, it eases the pain of life to become lost like that in a riddle sometimes.

Thanks Felix.
Perhaps poetry is not meant to be grasped at a first reading, but allowed to blossom in us in its own time, once its seeds have been planted in us.
Trying to grasp something can often lead to frustration, and restlessness.
Sometimes, it is better just to look, and feel.
I will add another stanza to the poem.
"The restlessness is not restlessness.
It is but the unendingness of yourself.
End yourself in love, and see all.
Nothing is restless outside of itself,
because nothing is outside or inside, but love."

Creation is borne out of love of the highest order but it can also fall on deaf ears.
We have been mostly exploiting the immense love for selfish ends by deceiving those who spread love unflinchingly.
When we plug into love of the creator and shine our own light in turn then we are true co-creators - siva

@innertalks Thanks Steve, there are the few who really live in god's immeasurable love every moment.
I point out, discreetly of course, how few just lose it - they are outwardly religious for all purposes but their lifestyle does not align with love. They are selfish, greedy, egoistic, the very anathema to what love stands for. Either they are blissfully ignorant or carried away by material pursuits at the cost of all others.
Then there are those who live with god presence every moment but sometimes they get overlooked not that it matters to them at all.
We have to understand the deep meaning of love in creation and reflect them in our lives for others to see the light in them. That way nothing fazes us at all - all are just needed and have meaning in our innings here as well as over the longer haul - siva

@Shiva49 Beautifully worded siva.
Yes, some are ignorant, and do not know how to love.
They need to grow in love's truths, consciousness, and understand love, as it lives through them and life.
We are all at different stages, and hopefully even those materially possessed right now, might be "recaptured" by the realness of real love at some later stage in their lives too.
Love has a funny way of reaching into our lives, past our foibles, and weakness's, and sometimes, something drastic has to happen, to reawaken us to love's power once more again.

@Shiva49 Thanks siva. It seems from that that Gandhi could not accept Jesus as the son of God, but he respected him as a great spiritual master, or teacher.
Gandhi wrote: "Dear Friend, I have your letter. I am afraid it is not possible for me to subscribe to the creed you have sent me. The subscriber is made to believe that the highest manifestation of the unseen reality was Jesus Christ. In spite of all my efforts, I have not been able to feel the truth of that statement."
He added: "I have not been able to move beyond the belief that Jesus was one of the great teachers of mankind. Do you not think that religious unity is to be had not by a mechanical subscription to a common creed but by all respecting the creed of each?"
I think that most spiritual people from other religions see Jesus in the same way. Not many can accept him as being the "only" son of God, equal to God, and one with God.
