LA FOI / FAITH :French/ English
LA FOI
Mon âme,
si c’est une âme
que j’ai.
souffre son existence
et tremble devant
son immortalité
cet inconnu
qui nous terrorise
ce silence
qui nous porte
aux genoux.
FAITH
my soul
if that is what I have,
suffers its existence
and trembles before
its own immortality
this Unknown
that terrorizes
this Silence that
brings us
to our knees

That silence, that end which is the end, deligths me.
I'm glad that when I die there will be absolutely nothing.
We may have fundamentally different beliefs, but I appreciate the sentiment of this poem.
cheers,

i do a lot of whistling in
i do a lot of whistling in the dark. Fear brings to our knees to pray---but to emptty spaces.I am not too sure we dont thin alike, Poem inspired by BLAISE PASCAL,who wrote :"Le silrence éternelle de ces espaces infinis, m'effraie" "The eternal silence of these infinite spaces, frightens me." So much for faith from a man of faith. i was only 16 when I read his work [ Les Pensées] and understood the truth of this statement.My brther was the altar boy, not me/.
thanks,

Maybe there is an infinite peace after all these struggles, be it a nothingness or a place filled with all you know it matters not.
That the peace reaches you and takes you to infinity must be beautiful, Yours Ian.T

This was to cover all bases as we do, Sadie is there, and I have told her that I will join her in her work, after my work is completed here, she never argues lol.
If there is no after, who is it that I talk to on those tapes ???????
Yours always, Ian.T
