My Twentieth Year - 21. give yourself

Poem No. 44

 

Like a song that wove itself into a soul

Like a glance that set into a mood

these are abstract thoughts

that express what I feel

 

 

 

Poem No. 45

 

You can give yourself to God

Only if you give yourself to your brothers.

I have felt empty and stricken in the past hours. Number 40 perfectly expresses a portion of my thoughts. I thank you for this.

Thank you, Parker. Although written long ago, I'd like to believe I've been guided to post these when it was 'the right time,' however, somethings faith is hard…

 

Thanks again.

Thank you, northie. Comments like these – and indeed, people have been so generous with their reviews – make me glad I dug out my old folder and began typing theses up.

These are both short, yet sweet, AC.

 

The second is so sorrowfully apt, right now.

Thank you, skinny. I would comment more on 'timing' and how it may have been meant to be…but it makes me emotional…

 

I appreciate your kind words.
