Because it Got in the Way

Yikes... I once spoke to a sniper who said they were sort of taught to do that, assuming they spotted a \"legitimate\" target. If you miss with one shot, the target may hope you stop trying!

What Matters Most
L. B. Mek said:
sometimes, we all need a friend
to whisper this hard truth\'s to us
for, if let to our own devices
we would neve claim, or accept
such a vulnerable state, instead
we would just withdraw, into ourselves
even more and refute, that needling thought
asking, maybe:
\'What really matters most
is surely
That you know
*they\'re somewhere near
And the very
simple fact, despite yourself
it seems,
You really do, still care …… x\'
(just another subtle gem of a write, my friend
again, wonderfully paced and effortlessly worded
so instinctively relatable)

Neville,
Yes I do know
‘he’s somewhere near’…
and ‘despite’ myself,
I ‘really do, still care…’
No matter how much time has passed and whatever has happened in the past, a special love will always be there never to be forgotten.
Thank you for sharing your penned thoughts.

Relationships are rarely so perfect that doubt doesn\'t come into play at some point especially for the young at heart. But like Fay mentioned, a change of heart is always possible. Awesome write N. ; )

Filled with care this write sounds to my mind like good parental advice to a youngster who chooses to end a relationship but then despite all odds is apt to change mind mid-way between today and tomorrow - - - -- scribed with your usual skilled attention to word and line-length it becomes so beguiling that I always want to know a little bit extra.............x

\'a token Gregorian chant
was plainly heard
While a single cello strained
to the fragile rhythm
and hypocrisy\'..
your words, today
remind me of a poem, I quote a lot
for its bravely universal and timelessly unerring: accuracy
a reflection of your words - effect, on me:
\'those who preach god, need god
those who preach peace do not have peace
those who preach peace do not have love
beware the preachers
beware the knowers\'
from \'the genius of the crowd\' by charles bukowski\'

One of religion\'s only good qualities is the art that it has inspired, music sculpture, paint, architecture etc. Otherwise it\'s been an evil source of death, war, torture, and abuse. A dismal track record.
Your poem has called out the \"hypocrisy\" of it all, yet sometimes the beauty of its art remains. - Phil A.

Neville,
Such a timely write…
I hear the basilica’s bells calling its parishioners.
Many will heed the call…
while others will not!
It’s their choice to make.
Let our free will guide us.
Have a wonderful Sunday.

I\'m probably the wrong one to comment on this being so anti the established church with it\'s wealth, finery and hypocracy.
For me your words tell of how far removed from true spirituality those churches have become.
