There are those who stand together
And others who drift apart
Bonds supposed to last forever
Crumble from the start
For some they follow their own creeds
Others follow their own desires
Some take depending on their needs
Others what their greed requires
Some pray to a God that’s benign
Others to a God that rages
Some live life to their own design
Some live their life in cages
Some worship only what they see
Others only what they are taught
Finding religion in imagery
Or salvation in theological thought
Some cry for a past that’s not forgiven
Some weep for futures pending
For the path that on which we’re driven
Leads only to an ending
Some laugh in the face of fate
Some whisper in the wind
Some love where others hate
Some pray where others sinned
We are but a single drop of rain
In a storm battering eternity’s shore
A fly caught in a hurricane
Then lost for evermore
I’ll be honest with you talisman…this one…reaches perfection. Truly one of my favourites…great job!
Why thank you Sadkw33n, I’m honoured
This is just gorgeous, Tallisman (or is it Dave, as the previous commenter mentioned? – Hope you don’t mind me asking. It’s always good to put a name to a blog. Your writing is wonderfully descriptive and bursting with realism (for me, at least). I could totally identify with all your words. Thanks for sharing this poem 😊💕
Thank you Ellie! Lovely comment, Dave.
Wonderful, Dave.
Thank you Jay, appreciate that!
