Between You and Him

he has conveyed at times that life has disappointed him without saying it in words

he longs for more than an ordinary life and a wife who does what he says

no need for the little thrills and flourishes and warmth one would perfer to offer

his  spouse is a taboo subject most of the time until he brings it up

their lives are centered in different worlds as they have become virtual strangers

his entire life seemed to be a peeling-off process

no one was entering everyone ws exiting his own life seemed to devour him
                                      
                                          it was unsalvagable

he was momumentally depressed but felt a need to go to confession

 

there was a knot of angst in his stomach but at the same time he had a lighter heart

                                   and a clearer head

                    he felt human again no longer did he feel powerless and defenseless

what was it what had happened it was like he caught his second wind

         look up look around you He's there He's everywhere the powers in us all

all it takes is a personal phone call to Him and a forgiveness of sins to make us feel whole 

                                                       again

I am not sure Brandy, but do I detect a certain irony in this poem.... ? Dunno might be me, is confession really just a phone call to forgiveness ?
