Really great poem, when it comes to faith I think we all struggle a little bit.

Bella Shepard said:
You have spoken the truest words, my friend. When you\'ve found that faith inside yourself, you\'ve found the true you, and that\'s a beautiful thing.

Doggerel Dave said:
‘We’re here because we’re here’ Is all we can truly know.
The rest belief; buy if it suits you - give it a bow.
If you have peace of mind then that’s good enough for you,
But regrettably this is one meal I cannot chew.
Keep well anyway, Andy.

there you go Andy
you\'ve gone
and inspired me to waffle-on
yet again, forgive me;
what a sincere write
and a most perfect
musical accompaniment
thank you! dear Poet
(there is a line from a poem
I have yet to share, it goes:
\'for naked, I am clothed\'...
It is strange, my cherished friend
how
we grandiosely immortalise, some
aspects of our lives
and marginalise as common, others
for example
who\'s to say, we can\'t make a religion
formed of those who walk through life with us
daily
those, who care for us and always
seem to have
a fee minutes free, to share a beer
or two
on a rainy day
those, who bring smiles and chuckles
into our lives
we may call them family or friends
and \'they\'
may be just that one person
who fills our heart to bursting;
but, aren\'t they
the cornerstones of our daily lives
those, very
churches and avenues to hope and faith
in our fellow, fallible humans
affording us a semblance of meaning
in this absurd, existence - thing..
why not make, mutual
kindness, Love and affection
our deities
and our closest loved ones
our saints
and we\'ll just worship them
as best we can
and call that, our belief system...)
\'and have free car parking in the town.\'

I expect you find church more than a social club, which it can be for some people.
I don\'t know - maybe it\'s \'religion\' you are turning from, not Christianity. Though Christianity is one religion!
One hymn has \'My chains fell off, my heart was free\' but that\'s about finding Christianity / religion / spirituality, whatever we may call it.

That arrow I shot into the air many years ago has finally reached the target I didn\'t even know I was shooting at. Retirement. Thanks for the wonderful metaphor, Andy. 😉

Goldie And Orchi At Hastings.
Doggerel Dave said:
And there are unplumbed depths to be found here -
Orchi , Goldfinch drinking sherry and scotch.
A member of CAMRA, I’d prefer beer,
That would have taken Hastings up a notch.
(CAMRA stands for Campaign For Real Ale – I was a very early member)
Good one, Andy.

Oh lol, good write Gold.
Were you around too, when a local Abbey in our town was there, before nasty Henry destroyed it?The Ruins are still there. I give guided tours, saying I was there at its opening in 1121.

Of course you do know that Harold was not shot in the eye actually, donchaknow. Tch! It was all believable apart from that part.

I shot an arrow in the air
And just for once I did know where;
As you predicted, it was fine -
We were together for a time….
You are providing me with inspiration, Andy – many thanks.

Wordsworth Reversed.
Doggerel Dave said:
Dark green nettle, lonely as a cloud;
Under foot but until now unbowed -
You could pluck without fear of retribution,
Present it to your stew as contribution.
(Understood to be delicious, Andy).

Wordsworth Reversed is Worth Words and this is certainly worth a few words here. I see it as a humorous take on \"I wandered lonely as a cloud.\" If so, it\'s well done, and I see the humor. No host of anything, just one \"nettle\" Well done, Andy. - Phil A.

Very, very true. Happens all the time. I also have stacks of unfinished poems. one\'s that were started and then drifted to something else entirely. Sometimes I will take bits and pieces of those unfinished poems and build a new poem from them.
I think we can all appreciate your poem for having been there. Nice words Andy. - Phil A.

I\'m in a similar situation - was it that poem I was going to write yesterday? But now it\'s today. Shall I write it tomorrow?!
What day is it? What year is it? What planet am I on? I\'m a confused laddie. lol.

What a wonderful tribute to a man who truly affected your life, and probably never knew it. Thankfully those people are out there, never knowing how many lives they\'ve touched with kindness and understanding, but always remembered. Lovely write dear friend.
