Andrea Dietrich Poet Etheree

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?

John Hamilton September 5, 2018 at 2:51 PM I think we all know...just a matter of how we want to live...or not. Great write Andrea!

Modupe Sefunmi September 5, 2018 at 2:29 PM Very strong inner knowing indeed! It is so refreshing reading through your poems again.

Dean Wood September 5, 2018 at 1:40 PM 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!

Sara Kendrick September 5, 2018 at 11:32 AM 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

Matthew Anish September 5, 2018 at 9:25 AM 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

L. J. Carber September 5, 2018 at 8:55 AM I very much agree, Andrea-- that inner knowing is only found in the human species, and so there must be a reason why.

Kim Rodrigues September 5, 2018 at 5:20 AM I agree! GL in contest!

Tom Cunningham September 5, 2018 at 3:29 AM Life is a giant jigsaw , hopefully we all fit in somewhere. Like you say, you have that inner knowing. Good luck. Tom
