The Light and the Fire

                The Light and the Fire        Pious Zarathustra – priest of Sacred Light – Preaching of his visions, (angel-brought at night), That God was best worshipped in the private heart Of each person’s conscience. Everyone is part Of this world’s existence and must challenge sin In the […]

Inquisitor

                               Inquisitor        That starry Question-mark displayed upon the dark Probes deeply my self-doubts with chill persistency. How did we come to be?. What is the point of life?. Is there a caring God?. Or Hell?. OrParadise?.     […]

Mystery

                            Mystery        I do not know how it will be for me In days that follow this. My thoughts are blind To what the future holds so secretly. In fate’s queer contradictions I can find No logical progressions; each new day […]

Pope John-Paul II

                  Pope John-Paul II                         (1920-2005)          (Adapted from: Neknus, Canto LIII)   The human spirit will accept defeat      By nothing in creation which it knows. Battered it may be; brought down to its knees      By the gross blows of circumstantial fate; Yet still undaunted […]

The Space Between

                   The Space Between        We’d marvel should it prove some mind devised Planets, bright stars and complex galaxies: Placing them in relationships so fine That they, (from ancient times through to this day), Stayed recognisable upon the skies As astrological phenomena Balanced amidst unstable cosmic flux.        Nor […]
