To Love Like God - A Mystic's Poem

A Poem by Thomas Razzeto
© Copyright 2008 by Thomas Razzeto

Byron Katie inspired me to write this poem. Her book Loving What Is talks about how the thoughts and attitude that you bring to each and every moment determine your emotional experience of that moment. If you bring the thoughts and attitude of acceptance and an emotional embrace, you will experience the emotions of wholeness, peace and joy. If you bring the thoughts and attitude of rejection, you will experience the emotions of separation, frustration, fear and pain. The poem starts off with these ideas and moves on to other ideas often labeled “non-dual,” what I like to call “mysticism.”

Here's the poem. I hope you enjoy it!

To Love Like God - A Mystic's Poem

    I wanted the world to be different,
    so I told the world it could stick it!
    But the only thing stuck
    was the me in my rut,
    a face so long you couldn't miss it.

    Align the whole world to my wishes,
    especially romantic kisses.
    Only then will I choose
    some delight, not to lose.
    But this grand plan, it often misses.

    In a new way, I found a new thought.
    It truly shows what cannot be bought.
    Acceptance is the key,
    done emotionally!
    Only this brings the joy that is sought.

    I now clearly see what I can do!
    The gift of the now, it offers two!
    Choose a smile or a frown.
    Pick an up or a down.
    Like magic it flows matching my view.

    Plant different seeds, take new action!
    Don't be afraid, work with elation!
    In the heart, what we sow,
    we soon see in the flow,
    a spiritual farmer's transaction.

    Though I do love the world as it is,
    I fancy more caring and kindness.
    Everyday a new start,
    peace and love in my heart,
    here and now sweet heaven arises.

    God and creation are one, not two!
    Like water and ice, they differ to you.
    Diverse forms, nothing more,
    both the same at their core.
    All things divine, though hidden from view!

    Can it be true, though hidden from you?
    God's magic trick, to show up as you!
    Both the good and the bad,
    all the glad and the sad,
    one Grand Spirit enlivens the crew!

    Give the embrace, no matter the face.
    At home and afar, yes, everyplace.
    Rock and dirt, tree and vine,
    she and he, all divine!
    What is not God, I could find no trace.

    Each part of God, like drops in the sea,
    connected to all, what mystery!
    A genuine embrace
    of the whole human race.
    The power to make new history!

    I know that most consider it odd,
    the mystic's view, its picture broad.
    This fresh view, could it be?
    With new eyes, now I see!
    To love it all is to love like God!

Thanks for reading my poem! Have a magical and mystical day!
