PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Within the contours of my poetry

the stars---the cosmos---or the galaxy

are used as metaphor and simile,

or, even sometimes, a metonomy:

for the saving Fellowship of Orthodox Christianity

(which cannot be altered by human perfidy

or the foul droppings of self-righteous jealousy

or the thinness of skeptics' theology,

and their ignorance of their spiritual contamination).

The Gospel of Jeus Christ, proclaimed eternally,

bestows the joy of the Common Salvation---

which is and shall be my soul's chief exultation,

among the redeemed of the Orthodox Church, that great congregation.

For all this, oh my soul, make a grateful jubilation.

Starward, an Orthodox Christian
