In exile out on the landing, aching bones will follow after I lost vocation, sealing faith in the empty aisles of chiming churches. Rickets splinter as bones are ground on leprosy sores. In the refuge of denial little children are happily crucified. I have released angels of their virgin purity, they crawled burdened with desire, stranded on frozen wings still clinging to virtue, I swallowed them whole as helpless insects. Out on the landing faith wastes in elegance. I will always be alone, even with devotion to you. Silence your words of scripture for I am still deafened by the vile lies of Leviticus 20:13 the hate cry of your righteous feeble flock worshipping with select ignorance. Stripping to my natural skin clothed only in obscenity with no fig leaf censorship. I will forsake heaven refusing to be tainted with the inheritance of original sin. Out on the landing I remain as a leper to your sacred communion. "but for the lovers, their arms Round the griefs of the ages, Who pay no praise or wages Nor heed my craft or art" Dylan Thomas. |

Deranger, thank you for your comments and for your reply. kynder, yes I see a God, a wonderful image of God but I can not find him in the church. The words I heard there just drove me further away from him/it. I don't know if there is something I am missing but when all the facts are presented before me, they don't quite spell out a loving God. All the same I still believe in the one corner stone of the catholic faith "love thy neighbour as thy self, and do unto others what you wish do onto you." Thank you for your wonderful reply, while my religion is dead my spirit is strong and that is where I found God.

Deep meanderings here Brian!! Loved it. Glad to see you believe in God, I do too. I like you don't like church much, sometimes but generally my relationship with him is a private thing. Totally christan beliefs I have gathered from a few different religions. I even checked it out with my priest and he said that was fine etc. So I can relate to this piece. Good work hon  I'll tell you this...... No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn..... ~Isis~ (Goddess - Sovereign of the Spirit) |
