Creator of Worlds

You are a magician, a creator of worlds.

Your mind perceives what can be,

sending out and bringing forth 

good gifts or rotten fruits, by choice.

You are a full participant, a shaper of reality.

If what exists behind your eyes is guarded

and dark, expecting the worst from others,

that is what returns to your shuttered keep.

To see what is true, right, and lovely changes

not only your heart and mind, but other’s

as well, like a particularly virulent virus that 

burns away wickedness with a terrible fever.

The love of God is an all consuming fire

that purifies through the pain of suffering.

It heals and destroys simultaneously

leaving only that which will always endure.
