My question is this,and my prayer is the same
Can a soul still be saved after dancing with flame?
Can a man still be saved while consumed by his shame?
Can a man still be man while forgetting his name?

My Question is this,and my prayer is my pain
When a soul is consumed will the man still remain?
When a man is consumed will the soul bear his pain?
When a man loses hope will his God bear the blame?

My question is this,and my prayer is insane
I ask answers to questions that God wouldnt diegn
To answer my prayers or to answer my pain
For to God I have answered my prayers with my blame

God will answer your prayer
And He'll tell you I'm sure
That none of us here
Are completely pure.
He loves you, and will
Forgive your grave sin.
Ask and He'll open His arms.
Walk on in.

Jason , if u believe strongly enough God will always answer your prayers as Joyce said.

These questions are very deep, and thought-provoking.
I'll focus on one or 2:


"Can a soul still be saved after dancing with flame?
Can a man still be saved while consumed by his shame?"

I do think God offers his salvation to those who ask for it..there's no time limit. One just has to stretch out his hand, say "sorry, Lord". He's there always waiting until our very last breath.

These are some thought provoking questions. Some that we all ask as we decide which road in life to choose.

An interesting play on words here that makes your poem fun to read... Especially liked the insane part where you ask answers to questions... I've been at that point of confusion a time or two as well in my life... (Smiles)   Like you later wrote; through it all, I'm also glad that we do find some kind of sanity and a better understanding. Welcome, GOD bless and thanks for your kind replies to my poems.

This is really an interesting piece - I enjoyed.

I'm a reader - not a writer.

Beautiful. Many of my friends have asked questions such as these...I think the answer from Joyce was very well written, or typed. I believe she has said pretty much everything that came to mind when i read your poem. I enjoyed reading it, it was quite interesting.

Beautifully done,

Your questions are deep, and I hope you've found your answers through Him, in one way or another.

Jason, very nice and complete. Nice poem. It's our nature to ask, but our faith is complete.

Jason-
It is so awesome to know that God's salvation for us from our sins is a free gift through his son Jesus.  It is not something we can gain through what we make of ourselves.  He wants us just as we are.  During my battles with faith in the past, I too had many questions, but as you get to know the father, you slowly stop asking and start trusting; it is a beautiful thing.
Thank you for the poem, sometimes we need to see visions back into our past to realize what we now have.  Your poem did this for me.. Thank you - Tim

Jason...Enjoyed your poem very much.
Food for thought that many of us have pondered before in our lives.
Glad I read your reply about coming to terms with God. Congratulations. Amen...Paul
