Another Day, Pre-Paradise



Morning, broken loose,
with hell astride.

And I?

I could have cried
but for the
faith
that led me loudly.

Noncomply
with satan's wiles.

Christ, alone,
directs my heart.

The Cathars

Confirmed

In the Belief

Evil was

In play

And

It was
The Devil

Ruled the Earth

[D.F.Russell]

"Christ, alone, directs my heart."

Regardless of personal religious beliefs, I prefer an element of uncertainty. It allows for the concepts of self-determination, responsibility and redemption.

If you've never read Barabbas by Par Lagerkvist or Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton, you might find them interesting.

I had a copy of Seven Storey Mountain and started (but do not recall if I finished) it about three decades ago. We've moved a good number of times since and it may no longer remain on my bookshelf. I've not heard of the other one...will check it out. T!hanks.

And thanks for the "like" to both you and DepressingPoem! And thanks to Johntee for read and comment.

It's a good day when I make it to the zone and have a chance to interact here with other writers!
