Om
Omnipotent,
Omnipresent,
Omniscient,
O Mighty One
Who dwells on High
Was never born,
Can never die;
O Nameless One,
O Faceless One,
You are the Sun,
The Bush That Burned;
You are the Dawn,
You are the Sky,
You are the One
Created I;
I thank You Lord,
By thought and word,
I thank You for Your Glory;
I thank you God,
By deed and word,
Let every living entity,
In one accord,
By thought and deed and word
Give praise and thanks to Thee.

- George Newton Vivian Chance (Trinidad and Tobago) -- member of the Poet Society of Trinidad and Tobago, http://poetssocietytt.blogspot.com/ and the World Poets Society, http://world-poets.blogspot.com/ -- born in Tobago on 3rd March 1957. While residing at Rio Claro was inspired to write over a hundred poems at the turn of the Millennium. Hobbies include playing wind instruments, building computers, observing nature, reading and writing poetry. Believes that the power of a song is in its ability to evoke emotions by the marriage of lyric and music but that music without lyric can be just as powerful, that lyric without music can also be just as powerful, that there is music in the lyric and that lyric can be simple yet profound. Also, in this the age of computers, would like to model his lines after simple and efficient code and, analogous to Object Oriented Programming, achieve most of his imagery from nouns and verbs, avoiding the bloat and excess of unnecessary adjectives. This is what he aspires to attain in his poetry.
