Alone I Cried - by Mark R Slaughter

'Alone! ' I cried again.
'Alone I am with me!
Lonely in a world of mist
Alone, I reach to touch your wrist
And see if I am thee.'

To be alone beside a soul
Afloat, adrift; an empty ghoul
Alone in woe; the yearning flesh
To fill a thin, contorted mesh
Diffuse atop an icy floor, alone.

So much alone in fact, I lack
The tonal vibrancy of life:

I am a song without a tune
alone;
A greying sky in June
alone;

The blueness of a sullen moon
- waning in a starless night-
alone;

Coasting down a weedy pass
alone;
The only image in the glass
alone;

To meet a certain heavy fate
- to turn and shut the knurly gate-

…alone.

This looks like soooo much fun!

Hope

It is hard to have hope when you lack confidence.

 Hope is a friend to those who think that it is even a possibility. For me, hope is all I give myself. I don't allow confidence, I never have.

 But hope...

 Hope will always be my one way ticket to somewhere other than what I consider my reality; that reality I create for myself. I hope ( :) ) that one day I will have confidence in my hopes, and they will become my reality.

My future personal muse and makeout man.

words

“Whether or not you believe in God, you must believe this: when we as a species abandon our trust in a power greater than us, we abandon our sense of accountability. Faiths … all faiths … are admonitions that there is something we cannot understand, something to which we are accountable. With faith we are accountable to each other, to ourselves, and to a higher truth. Religion is flawed, but only because man is flawed. The church consists of a brotherhood of imperfect, simple souls wanting only to be a voice of compassion in a world spinning out of control.”
― Dan Brown, Angels and Demons


“Science and religion are not at odds. Science is simply too young to understand.”

You go right ahead and get married in your Las Vegas chapel or at the nearest courthouse. As for me, I'm getting married in a castle to a son of a king.
