I stand on black sands
I stare into the abyss
I see nothing to fear
Something must be amiss
I'm naked and torn
My soul has been laid bare
Alone, I walk
Why are you not there?
The words, they said
You would be by my side
Blasphemous!
Those words, they lied...
I walk alone
With my deeds, with my thought...
No one to answer to
No indulgences to be bought
Yet there is no fear
I wrote my own tome
I must face myself
This judgment is my own

Sometimes we must have a break with reality, I am going through much the same. Luck to you . . .

I appreciate the open interpretation
you leave out for all here..
We are told of many salvations at our ends,
yet I, too, have learned lately that we
mostly walk alone.

Powerful reflections you've writ, sweetie,
wishing you the very best!

Thank you Davina. I walk a solitary path. I must one day face myself for my choices in this life and I must face them alone. No one, not even a devine being will be able to answer for me. Knowledge is power, but truth is even more powerful by far. I'd far rather enter the next realm with open eyes than in a sugar coated fog expecting to be magically forgiven for being an awful person.
