There is a sadness to the light that lingers in these woods
left behind by the sun’s passing
as though the trees know that the day is dying
and no morning will come at the end of night
Then the sky is crying, and the river runs full
drowning out all sounds of waiting
the sensation in lungs that breathe air made clean
after the smoke of yesterday’s fire has cleared
Breathe it in, this newfound purity
scent of the second coming of a shadowed sky
with it become one with the twilight
and so die with the day

Do you consider yourself religious?

Nice poem. 🙂 I don’t consider myself religious but rather having faith*

Difficult question. I define religious as following set dogma and adhering to certain rites. Does it have to be all or nothing or will a certain percentage do? I would say I’m 60% religious.

I’d say it’s completely up to the individual, so 60% is a more than fair answer! (: cheers

Spiritual rather. We are one, all children of God
