There he is again
on one of his Binges
where if you were want to put a name to it
you would really call him more Insane
than not and even Though
no make that If
I wanted to, it is literally
Impossible to reach him
He colors Reality to suit his
viewpoint and I
I am always stranded in the
Middle
with naught Else to do
but close my eyes against What
I cannot bear Alone
and Pray and Wish that He could intervene....
if only He could and would speak words
for my ears to grasp hold of
not just ask that we lean
on the Faith that he is actually
Up there
and that all of This
must surely have some
higher Purpose

And I cannot stop from asking If
he really does know all
then how can he be silent and watch
this insanity
happen?

But Quickly I choke
my inquiry lest it grow into
Iniquity

Jellybeans--you have captured it perfectly here... I often find myself wondering the same things... Why is all this happening? You have summed it all up in a very different, but meaningful way..

Before I had a chance to respond to your email, I read this... and I'm just floored by your ability to pick the words that make the poem, distilling drops of gold from the flood of emotions.

I'd be impressed with the poem regardless... but with knowing comes the amazement. *S*

Sometimes we do wonder why all this is happening....expecially when we ourselves can do nothing to help the situation....

great poem indeed-you've captured perfectly the feeling of helplessness that comes with the realization that some things are simply not within our control--enjoyed!

JB,

I asked you to write more and I almost missed this one, one of your best.
This is incredible writing. Very heartfelt.

It is insane, and they are. I'll not forget that hounding question: "why",
asked one thousand times, or more.
I can tell you it gets better.
It will pass. You hang in there. Please keep writing, you are many people's voice.

With the warmest regards and many hugs, Pat

..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
