Fatally Written

All is not fatally written;
though no one leaves
the positive alive – I mean, 
ink dries and paper becomes
wrinkled and brittle...as those relationships
we wish to youthfully revive – but we are born dying –

let’s face it…

                        and despite the fact
that earth’s seasons wither then
restore, there is an under-toe
drawing us toward the sun...

the flip-side of awakening. 

One consolation is, I have been drenched
by Divine Light – far more brilliant
and powerful than any Hydrogen Furnace – 

yet, there was no pain and suffering –

only profound, comforting love….

Remarkable and utterly convincing personal statement of belief based on experience, made all the more effective by your creative use of words. I am as always, impressed by your writing, Joe

You make a valid point...Talk about th sad state of affairs, but then turn it into a positive through your own personal faith.
