RESURRECTION

the sun rises to colors pale

in my world of affliction

my body broken

my spirit on razor's edge

I bear my existence and endure

as best my nature will allow

I compromise to God’s betrayal

and suffer the loss of human dignity

my soul bound to its own agony

freely speaks its crucifixion

yet no one dies of a spirit broken

a heart in sunder does not stop beating

the mind does not seek insanity

for the truth it knows

No pain can steal my fire

No reality my light

No treachery my hope

Thanks, Rosnella. Not bravery--necessity.

true belief. it takes bravery to endure knowing death is imminent, but the hope of Resurrection is faith in a reward for enduring to the end

Yes, I guess it is, but we hold on desperately to ths lfe for that s the only one we know.

Ths life is all we know as the resurrection gives us hope of a better life

I almost died two weeks ago and am happy to be homedong my "thing". We need to go on--there is no other way.
