ignorance is misguidance
within itself
and other than the purity of
true knowledge
for it
there is no help
struggle plays
many cat & mouse roles
in each our separate but
necessary lives
we pay for such privilege
that each mistake made
much too often belies
what we each are here in such
great fathomless need to learn
need not necessarily be known
at least
not to the mere total body
that shrouds a perfect spirit
why some even accept such creed
as it was sewn
while others invariably rather
fear it
where I used to fear death
now I only fear the more shallower
points of one's life
I accept that this is not the end
its barely rather a spiritual world's
beginning
the physicality is but the tip of a
very large iceberg
so upon my very soul and actions today
I must depend
the Lord leads all with each his conscience
and or heart
those who choose to ignore him
are fools
in our destinies
we all too willingly take part
its in our spiritual contract
if you really feel that you will go to
Heaven
then to Heaven I believe then that you
truly shall go
there is no such thing as doubt or fear
in the beloved here after
so here on this earth
choose your paths wisely
and release from your heart
all your weighted fears
and cold debilitating doubts
and of the purity in your troubled
and tainted heart
allow the Lord one true unobstructed
pathway leading inward
so he too you can come to know
that pathway has but only three names
and you know them well
they are
Belief
Faith
and Love..........................
