One sided Conversation with an Atheist

Submitted by faerybeki on Sun, 2011-08-07 19:01

Nothing
is
something.
So, you do believe in
something.

How could you not?

You have read a poem
only to find the poem reading you,
breathing you,
reflecting the dirty scars
only you know where
all the way from
here to when.

You have heard a song
and had it play you,
use you,
turn you into a divine instrument
plucking at Eternity.

it's not your mind,
or your body
but something
infinitely
more
Infinite.

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
late night drunken post of a poem I wrote a few months ago... I miss you guys... much love x
Editing stage: 
Editing - rough draft

Thanks Ian, always good to see you :) sorry for your loss. Sometimes it's hard to say goodbye, I've been rereading Illusions by Richard Bach and this quote just came to mind...

'“Don't be dismayed at goodbyes, a farewell is necessary before you can meet again and meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.”

I'm so happily busy with the family it's hard to find time to visit here, I so love it when I can :) Until we 'meet' again dear Ian :) lots of love Beki xxx

and teaches by means of opposites,
so that you will have two wings to fly,
not one.' (...Rumi)

Hi Beki, nice to see you again.

I once belonged to a few *atheist* yahoo groups, just because I'm always interested in how everyone thinks. To believe in nothing is still a belief. Somehow non-believers can't wrap their minds around that one.

Beki, your poem does justice to the poem that is life itself.
