Through it all, the candle burned. Great symbolism of continual resignation in life. Not frustration or misery, but a resignation borned out of virtue and \"worn like a flowing silken shawl.\" Great symbolism. Awesome poem. Well expressed.

THE LAMENT OF A NON-BELIEVER

What I love about the folks here is the exchange above. We disagree on something that could be highly inflammatory. In other countries people loose their heads over this, literally. But you have a difference of opinion and we joke about it. Thanks for your delightful poem.

Oh - I love the watercolour Michael and as for the poetic confession of non-belief I can imagine God smiling at that very last line - as I did. x

Thanks MICHAL ~ Perfect painting complemented by a perfect poem and vice-versa ! I like the structure of the poem \"Free verse quintets\" which gives you infinite linguistic freedom. It has perfect meter and personally I would not change a single word. There are 16,000 Medieval Churches in ENGLAND and 26,000 others ! You poem reminds us that each one is a very precious part of our Heritage and it is a COMMUNITY responsibility to preserve them. They are Havens of Peace in a very restless World ! Thanks for caring. ~ Please check my Poems ~ Thanks BRIAN.
