Outrageous

Everybody was half-naked on the trail
of curves. Braindead. Emptied thought.
A single vacant look.
“Why me?” I ask. Stay stupid in the crowd. Looking
at the moon, indulgent. Plucking the nector from
knobs of naked flames.

No coming back from days of unknowing
the secrets of unskopen words. A cry stifles
in the throat of a prayer.

A moon was found on a dump !

Sadly, Satish, life has experiences that leave a good and faithful person empty. But precious is the heart of the faithful. And forgiving oneself is often harder than forgiving another...because we know! But happiness is based upon righteous living and forgiving ourselves along with others. Our Creator wants us to be righteously happy. He forgives those who ask. Be happy. Lovingly, Dane Ann
