PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

such sad, sweet respite

encased by the loving arms of an ever so

softly cherished imperfect peace

whispers warmly to the welcoming floor

of my once too tangled mind

as like sanded pebbles of scattered grace

fallen from the path leading unto the serenity

of Heaven's beckoning embrace

the Pastor would call such touching analogy

inspiring seeds of righteousness

so, with a clean, new invigorated mind

I am now able to clearly think

still I try to, though not too obviously

align my gentled beliefs with that of the Pastor's

as he seems to me far more in tune to God's sacred

covenant

than such a notable novice such as myself

our time here together though short,

should oh, so wisely be well spent

yet, no individual should anti up his ego

before the audience of even the most patient

of saints

nor attempt to short change

the fearful believer of his own idea of Heaven

in which he, the blind frightened follower

often much too grimly points

for that bears the all too telling ear mark of

sin

as such dark age acts of the too human view

placed upon religion tend to alienate the weakest

yet most needful in the flock

and I'm so very certain that the all loving

JESUS we were taught to know and grew to love

would not want such inadvertent poison so generously

disbursed among the newest additions to his

growing stock...............
