Array ( [sid] => 147478 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => A letter to my true self [time] => 2009-01-17 05:44:25 [hometext] => my concept of religion and god and spirit is changing with time as i think.I am a christian by relegion but my concept of life is different.I would like to call myself the truth seeker than corner myself into relegious dogmas. [bodytext] => Away from my obsessions and my material greed
You stand watching my worldly deed.

I work towards the goal i must find
Set for a purpose the path undefined.

I am like a reflection of you in a tainted mirror
you observe and learn from my life's experiences and terror.

I am always moving but for you i am still
My actions are observed,an expression of free will.

The trials i endure are trivial for you
You stay with me but rarely give a clue

You are the perfection,I would become
Unfathomable for many,fathomable for some

I run on as time passes by against my will
For you time is one ,and everything is still

In you are the secrets of existence, I hope to find
I will see you within me, When the journey unwinds [comments] => 1 [counter] => 252 [topic] => 25 [informant] => theeman [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => MiscPoems )

A letter to my true self

Interesting. I myself also have a sense of self which stands outside self, observing and (hopefully) taking lessons away from what my self encounters.

Question: in your truth seeking, do you read the Bible much, open-mindedly and without whatever dogmas you've probably been taught to associate with it?

Stylistically, you should place your commas better (always after the last word of the first clause, without a space, then a space, then the next clause. As I've just been doing there). Not at all badly written, though.
