Aftermath

Gary Edward Geraci

*highjacked, addled language

**words held captive

mankind’s gaslighting of meaning, active

*who am I to judge?

 

*definitions kidnapped

**dialogue dead

laud delusions. one Word frees, one Word bled

*’fore the boulders quaked and earth clapped

    Outback I thought you’d at least approve of my use of the “*” in this piece. It is indeed most curious: the longing of mankind for the numinous! Does that not in itself point to some transcendental horizon?

    I find it rather cryptic this. I feel I have the general idea of it. Yes - numinous too. Man's longing for something, or better still someone, outside of him/her self.
    Seeing as we are made in the image and likeness of God.
    Pity my singing is not much in His 'likeness' (heehee) - can it be helped?! More like the likeness of two cats fighting (Oh it's not that bad!).

      Orchidee, I can think of only one thing worse than the sound of two cats fighting - the dragging of one’s nails down a chalkboard! Thanks for your read and comment and please keep singing in church (you’ll never know how many people you are humoring by your spirited participation.)

        Some don't sing at all! If they know the tune/hymn - why are they there at all?!
