Annael Posted November 10, 2002 Report Posted November 10, 2002 RUN! The words are shouted from out of the darkness. You do so, never knowing where to go Where to turn What will happening next. STOP! And your feet halt. You look around, trying to see what's commanding you All that is there Is the darkness COME! Your feet start again Leading you you know not where But you can't stop It keeps calling you. KNEEL! Your legs buckle Knees hitting the dirt Unable to stop the commands from taking over Your body bowing down LOOK! Your head tilts up And you gaze at awe at what you see before you A smile starts and you raise to your feet You arms out stretched WELCOME! The warmth embraces you The arms holding you close And you know that you're safe at the end of your journey In the arms of your Lord
Annael Posted November 10, 2002 Author Report Posted November 10, 2002 a very dear woman passed away on tuesday and her service was today. Her journey here is ended, but it has just begun in the service of our Lord. She has a lovely job though, watching out for her son and grandchildren. I was lucky to have had such a loving and caring woman in my life, even if it was for such a short amount of time. hehe...when I graduated from college I talked to her on the phone, she said thank you for taking my granddaugther by the hand and leading her through college with a level head, and that she loved me as one of her own. God Bless Dorothy Dunlop, and rest in peace and in love. I'll watch out for them too, from down here. Edited by: Annael at: 11/9/02 10:16:32 pm
Vlad Posted November 10, 2002 Report Posted November 10, 2002 You know... that's how I feel sometimes. But I'm not dead. And don't believe in a god. At least not with a capital "g". Boy, am I gonna get hammered for saying that...
Annael Posted November 10, 2002 Author Report Posted November 10, 2002 *raises an eyebrow and looks at Pered* would you like to step in? you being the polite bard and all.
Peredhil Posted November 11, 2002 Report Posted November 11, 2002 Heh, I allow people their person beliefs, or non-beliefs, whether I agree with them or not. I just found out that a dear friend of mine, my 'second father', died of cancer. Came back to reread your poem. But really, it's impossible to effectively argue religion. If you believe in the Bible, it pretty much tells you not to argue it, in the form of such pithy sayings as: "The fool has said in his heart, there is no God" and "The natural man cannot understand the things of the Spirit." Given that, it's like arguing about shades of red and brown with someone who's colorblind. Unnecessary and cruel. Shrugs. Personally, I'm somewhat Gnostic - I leave judgement to God and that frees me to love people as they are. It's so much easier to be Polite that way... Huggles -Peredhil
Annael Posted November 12, 2002 Author Report Posted November 12, 2002 heheh...wasn't asking you to step in and pass judgement. Meh, I don't even remember what I was trying to get at though. It's all good.
The Portrait of Zool Posted November 12, 2002 Report Posted November 12, 2002 "...like arguing about shades of red and brown with someone who's colorblind." I believe in purple, myself. ~Zool~ He who goes around, comes around.
