They Know Not What They Are

And if they know not what they do The lonely weary souls Who share the common goal Imbibe a sense of disbelief They wander aimless through and through Panic stricken sullen Risen and the fallen Reality obscured by grief To make amends from me to you My proposition is Give solace and forgive What timeless would consider brief End excursion black and blue In the deepest ocean Swim through tears forgotten The joy we'll feel from such relief

To forgive is an act of grace... to turn the other cheek is one of the hardest things to do, but ultimately redemptive. Well done my friend! Best wishes, Keith

This speaks very well for all those who share the common goal, whatever that goal may be, in disbelief. I'm one of those. Your piece is so well thought out I want to read it again and again. Congrats on this pick. Love, daver
