Rhapsody on a theme of pain
Monthly Archives: February 2025
Closed
If your hearts are closed
to the least of you
those whose hearts bleed
louder than the rest of you
Can you call yourself a child
of He who gave himself for all of us?
If your ears are deaf to
the sounds of need
because the mouths
that scream sound foreign
Can you call yourself a child
of He who loves each of us?
If you can watch suffering
with eyes untouched by blindness
and call it good
because the sufferers
don’t share your pronouns
Can you call yourself a Christian?Or are you a traitor to the teachings of your faith?

Death is not my enemy…
I am not eager to meet it,
SavvySpoonie2025
I do not long for it’s embrace,
but I know that when it comes for me I’ll meet it with no trace
of the fear and loathing I’ve been taught to feel for the end of my life.
Death is not my enemy.
it won’t come for me with savage teeth,
or brandishing blood dripped blades,
but as a sweet release
from the agonies my body feels every minute of my life.
Death will take me by the hand
and gently lead me away from the pain,
and I will feel the peace settle in
as though being washed in a summer rain,
as my soul departs my worldly prison and is freed.
