Suppose then That Angels are quarks Of sorts Sparks That exist throughout Time Space And that once We Were such creatures A part of that heavenly host Until That is We became desirous Of weighty matters Seduced Into the sin of sensation The urge to feel Ecstasies Agonies And so We were clothed In the flesh that we wear Condemned Exiled Onto this rocky outpost Where we exist too briefly To fully comprehend The consequence of Being Graceless [This message has been edited by wranx (06-28-2003 12:09 AM).] |

Yes. All true my friend, all too true. Now that we are here though, we can't get back until we are all done. This is a truly great piece of poetic art, truth skillfully delivered. Thank you for sharing it. |

Thanks to all for the nice comments. This was born from a conversation with brian sites one night at work. (A 5 hour query on the "Original Sin") So, my thanks to him, for helping a night at the grindstone pass painlessly and for titling this for me. |

There's grace, and there's Grace, and there's what comes to a man when he reaches peace....which is better in some ways than either. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
