Never have my eyes seen
Such beautiful words
Never have my ears heard
Such a truth,
A fraudulent past
Born of ignorance
Preserved by childlike innocence
No reason to doubt,
Now I stare in disbelief
My mind a foggy haze
Blinded by their brilliance
Confused by their implications
These words so beautiful
Yet so painful,
This truth
So wonderful
Yet so inconceivable

This poem, although I don't know the words to which it refers, could very easily be applied to the Bible. I think it sums up the way I looked at them the first time I discovered the truths within. In any event, this is a well written poem. I enjoyed this very much!

Just like Denise, I'm left wondering which words you're writing about. You describe them so beautifully, without revealing what they are.

Well done.

thanks for taking the time to read and comment. the words were actually those of a life altering letter. but it's interesting to see how others intepret your work and make it personally relevant.
