To the Atheist

That
you could
be born and
then die without
real purpose is not
an ideology 
I can believe in. Too much
of creation’s orderliness
and beauty is proof of this to me.
Have you never felt an inner knowing?

This is spot on Andrea. I never could buy into that idea that we crawled out of the primordial ooze and overcame chaos on our own. A well written entry! Good Luck!

Good that you know that and accept the fact. There is no just happened in God's plan if only we would be in touch so we could know what He has for us. Reads like a good contender to me. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Nice mystical poem here! Good luck in the contest. I saw Anastasia on Broadway and after the show when I went to get an autograph from the star she blew me a kiss!! I am going to see Wicked on Broadway on Sunday! Peace & Love Matthew Anish

I very much agree, Andrea-- that inner knowing is only found in the human species, and so there must be a reason why.
