Who do Gods worship from their kingdom’d clouds aloft, aloof, high above prayers and those that say them? Who comforts them through existence, blankets them, believes in them when they doubt what they have created, when the created doubt them? Who eases the burden of kneeling billions all bleeding whispers of who has forgotten the broken? Who do they beg? If beyond their powers, immense unanswerable specks of light brightly twinkle the taunt “you shall never reach our start”, who gives them hope to stay the distance and persevere in ignorance? My curious Gods your answers are kept in books between pews written by those who forgot they too had the power to create. |

Contemplative indeed! These are thoughts... Bingo m'man. "...they too/had the power to create." That certainly makes one realize there is power left to be wielded! Cool Trevor |

Trevor~ Who indeed ? You've exceeded the 'power of the poet' ... you've caused me to re-think. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Isn't the freedom to write of religous beliefs, and especially the right to question them wonderful? Good Poem.jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Trev, This is worth it just for the "bleeding whispers" and "brightly twinkle the taunt." Mike [This message has been edited by bsquirrel (edited 07-01-2000).] |

It needs an eye such as yours to see these questions, and contemplate the reasons behind all the answers, some not so obvious as the others... why do the fish have fins to swim while birds have wings to fly, yet why do I feel I swim and fly amongst my thoughts, a simple why? Trevor, you have just set me about in a contemplative mood... thanks regards, sudhir |
