My Mantle of Doubt

I wear this cloak, a mantel of doubt Fashioned with invariable pain Lost in the depths of perplexing thoughts I exist in this crypt of nothingness! Let me vanish beneath stormy seas! Now I dwell deep within the house of cynicism With no thought of tomorrows, for they're not promised End this night of constant deliberation Grant me bitter sweet liberty from approach Just Let me expire in this deafening silence!

I think many of us endure the mantle of doubt Audrey, and I do hope many of us come through our storms >> James

Wow, excellent and deep poem, Audrey. Don't know how I missed this one earlier. I love the way you describe the "crypt of nothingness." I feel like I'm in that crypt sometimes too and expiring would be a relief. Great poem, my friend. Love, Carolyn

(2) For of doubt is illusionary imaginations, while faith produces reality's manifestations of our pure and innocent thoughts; of our source Love. Precept versus concepts, for concept logics are mere imitations of the one precept of Love source. "That is; doubt(devil) of the mind, lies to the faith of the sacred Heart. You did well! Smile!

(1 ) Audrey, The depth of your poem here, if understood of one's heart is the excellency of wisdom from the Master above! The precept of pure heart thought has revealed the prison of mind concept doubt, based on perplexing crypt images of nothingness.
