RE: Friday Poets, Round 11, Contest and Community Building
Although tired for wrestling, here's my little upper punch for the moment:
Thanks for hosting, @prydefoltz :D
I'll start commenting ASAP, after my working weekend.
Trust me and allow me to be
my own way,
even if you have not been so allowed.

Take my hand and watch me,
watch me turn into
God.
A great poem, @marlyncabrera, that invites us not to transmit our fears to the generations that come after us. It reminds me of the conception of God that Rainer Maria Rilke proposes to us when he says that God is the best thing that we are going being. Thus human history would be nothing other than the preparation of God. Very much in the same direction as your poem, Rilke once wrote: "Why don’t you think of Him as the one who is coming, who has been approaching from all eternity, the One who will someday arrive, the ultimate fruit of a tree whose leaves we are?"
Spectacular. I love the empowerment that this expression gives off and, in general, the tone of the whole poem. Excellent creation, dear @marlyncabrera.
