More Mirror Loop Poetry

Many times poetry is considered an expression of English .
However the vocabulary is deep and wide .
I think the Mirror Loop structure is a good example of how to extend and build on this .

Thank you for taking the time to read my poetry .

The ignorance of thinking.
Still I am critical.

To Know Gods Mercy

Listen and learn to counsel the wise .
We have life eternal .

That knowledge and truth is for all .
With trust we must not doubt .

We are Christian .

Wise the counsel to learn and listen .

Between Me You And God
By Paul McCann
Always and forever is God within man and woman .
Soul and body , the heart and mind .
The grace of receiving a wonder of presence or occasion .
An unexplainable something beyond understanding .
Pathways overgrown in mystery , beyond time .
In hanging gardens , secret wisdoms seeds sewn .
From things unseen are faith in deed and action .
God is good how true it is .
Miracles are there when God is commanding .
(now in reverse)
Commanding is God when there are miracles .
Is it true how good God is .
Action and deed in faith are unseen things from sewn seeds.
Wisdoms secret gardens hanging in time beyond mystery in overgrown pathways .
Understanding beyond something unexplainable .
An occasion or presence of wonder .
A receiving of grace .
The mind and heart . the body and soul .

Woman and man within God is forever and always .

Night Café
By Paul McCann

Lights faded dim and soft in me, with blended coffee,
The brew strange,
A new one, Mmm,
Alone there sat I listening for hours,
I had poetry and espresso with bites.

Ghost Writer
By Paul McCann
Night pulsating a movement in shadow .
Just image an almost unworldly experience that was unreal.
So deep .
So I wrote writers ghost .
Haunted words .
Are they here ?
I write .
Write I here .
They are words .

Wrote I so deep ,
So unreal was that experience , unworldly almost ,
An image ,
Just Shadow in movement ,
A pulsating night .

Seek Out God

Seek we both spiritual and human being.
Harmony in God and man .

Rubbles In Babble
By Paul McCann
Almighty God
by spoken tongues expression defies logic,
toil and trouble and boil and babble.
Down falls rubble as pride falls down .
Our mystery of interpretation .
The tongues spoken were strange
but not were they mad .
No, drunk they were not.
Confused and lost were they and understood nobody.
(now in reverse)

Nobody understood and they were lost and confused .
Not were they drunk, no.
Mad they were not but strange were spoken tongues.
The interpretation of mystery .
Our downfalls pride,
as rubble falls down.
Babble and boil and trouble and toil .
Logic defies expression .
Tongues spoken by almighty God .

The Way Ahead
(My First Mirror Loop The Way Ahead was published in Colophon Magazine June 1999)
Paul McCann
Sublime pools bathed in sunlight rippled,
Where words swept me in oceans deep
subconsciously.
Time after time heaven in hearts are captured .
Love flows on and on endlessly.
(now in reverse)

Endlessly on and on flows love.
Captured are hearts in heaven time after time.
Subconsciously beep oceans in me swept words,
Where rippled sunlight
in bathed pools sublime.
