An Endless Word

An Endless Word
29 May 2006


Was it an endless word
this believing in eyes real
To see God and know
atheism was true

A birth after death
reincarnation to begin
Resurrection, a myth to cater
hunger beyond separation of a soul


For where was an ideal
that perfect outcome to perfect
Upon the table of deletion
bodies distorted in knife cut


What was belief
faith in an unknown
Sure love was shivery
or was that cold in Christ


“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God. All things were made by him;
and without him was not any thing made that was made.”
John 1: 1-3 KJV

a poet who cares

This was inspired by reading another poem presented on sharepoetry?

      understanding

      I get accused that people do not understand my writing, I think you just proved otherwise

      Even if I have composed 650 of my poems so far in 2006, some reassurance goes a long way to what comes next

      Thank You
