blah blah blah...
Cindy,
"what keeps you faithful" is a question to God
"yours is no four letter name" infers that i have used God as or in conjunction with a cures word.
"blasphemy to praise" infers that because of God's grace and undying faith in me, i have turned from cursing his name to praising his name.
with all this said, i may overhaul the title and first line of this poem. as Iphios pointed out, there is a conflict with "grace" and "faith" here. i think i thoroughly confused her too.
hope this helps,
Pap

Well now it definetly makes a whole lot more sense
lol
I would agree theres a conflict with grace & faith and something like you said..needs a change possibly
But now that I have understanding of the words, it only makes the piece even better to me Papy...and something great thoughts from you
Thanks again

I've read this poem quite a few times. There was something that drawn me in. Though the idea of Grace is my only clue to this. Taking into context the idea of faith, its said that faith is a matter of grace. It cannot be forced, it is given. It is not out of love that you become faithful, but out of the grace given you. And its that grace that transforms us, all we can do as people is open ourselves to it, to receive it. I can be very off-base here, but what the heck. This haiku jumps over a lot of things unsaid. Nonetheless, it pulled me in and hopefully, i got a glimpse of what it meant.
