A Cross Worn on my chest Protecting me from all I fear Guiding me through all that is not clear Testing me the entire way The fractured light The broken window I see it through Distorts my vision Complicating my direction Making my journey that much harder Harder to decide my true desire From which I bleed Suffer so quietly Smile on my face Misleading all including myself Should I seek reprieve Or do I continue on This pathway to nowhere Seeking answers that cannot be found Only leading me to new questions A Cross Worn on my chest Protecting me from myself [This message has been edited by spiked (08-19-2003 06:34 AM).] |

 Hey you. A happy hello to our prodigal poet. And Rich? I love this, but yep, you KNEW I might, huh? Lots of soul searching here, and this is by far one of the most introspective pieces of poetry I've read from you in awhile. I loved the juxtaposition of beliefs held in such high regard, while maintaining the personal integrity of questioning the SELF first, and you know the witch in me loves that you placed the ultimate responsibility of "salvation" upon the self, without placing blame on circumstance or others. The cross we bear is truly one of our own carpentry, methinks.  I'm thrilled with this, and joyed to see you. Stick around awhile? (and I'm smiling at the irony of ME telling YOU that--wasn't that YOU who invited ME here in the first place?)  and btw? I just drank that last cold beer... Check with the G tho, regarding a football party. love to you, Rich. [This message has been edited by serenity blaze (08-19-2003 03:23 AM).] |
