Wisdom's Clarity Lost

Trapped in a quagmire existence Mind over matter has shattered The real becomes imaginative Spinning in a hurricane of confusion Extinct thoughts plunder reality As tangible objects beseech memories bold Reaching for the unattainable With blinded eyes and deafened ears Clarities benevolence escapes reach When death the heart does breach Wisdom to know the difference Lost in the murky waters of grief By: Debra Squyres 1-20-11

Thanks, Debra, am glad you found my poem inspirational. Wisdom that comes from God is the best wisdom of all. Man thinks he's so wise, but little does he know......Love, Maureen

Clean the cobwebs from your mind. And in the morning you will find, that what you thought in your darkest hour. Sanity removed with a defogging shower.

When we let ourselves become so mired in grief that we are literally drowning and life seems to lose it's meaning, this is the true meaning of the word, "despair". Despair is a sin because it means you have lost your faith. Despair is the loss of hope and without hope you have no faith in anything. You must never allow anything to do that to you because it puts a wall between you and God and Jesus came to tear down that wall. A fine write. Good entry for the conntest. God Bless, JB
