A Sweet Release

With eagerness that burned with an eternal intensity,
She gazes beyond the stars.
Pondering the true meaning of life.
All of her beliefs, depleted.
Her pure inquisition.
Is there a God?
Will He forgive me?
Will He save me from my faults?
Question's she wails, to an evening sky.
Yet, no answers are endured.
To live, striving to quench an assumed "God's" thirst.
To please him.
To be infallible.
Obviously, an unimaginable milestone.
She envisions such a life, and attains her own belief.
To one who lives such a horror...
A fall-out of faith... or even death may be a sweet release.
