DESPERATE FORTUNE

Folder: 
JOURNAL # 41

beauty is brittle
without
the softening agent
of kindness

love
like make up
must not run

without faith
life is hollow
and many times
already used up

C.S. Lewis
showed us that intellects
can smartly love God
he breached that bridge between
the ego and the inner silent one

those who are still unable
in their own lives
to realize that we all are one
are certain to see
the affected horizon
but not the sunrise when it comes

intuitively man searches
even those who count themselves
as deniers
of all things beyond the realm
of the physical
where the leaders shall follow
the followers shall lead
and in this they guide their brothers
by the crumbs lain in the wake
of their very own 'Desperate Fortune'..........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Believe it or not but this is a second complete draft of a poem that disappeared on me 20 minutes ago when I was drafting it in my email. My computer hung up and I lost it for the most part but with a few scribbles I'd written down on the back of an old business envelope I got enough of it to piece the other parts I'd come up with to that and fill in the gaps. It is not exactly as the other poem but pretty darn close. I am pleased with the out come but I must admit I was pretty annoyed when it first got lost. Anyway, enjoy the patchwork.

I was pretty annoyed that day.........

am glad I was able to loosely patch work the piece back together so it wasn't a total loss. M.
