Pastures of hope?: A poem 

Did the mountains bow down to you? 

Or the skies touch you, 

leaving on you a mark of impregnability 

such that you were eternally protected? 

The clouds over you were always photographic memories 

each time you died and reincarnated 

We are visions of ourselves through remembrances 

Love is a temple you keep within yourself, 

expressed only when need be 

But the oblation is permanent 

And is your temple oddballed for its virtuosity to seek the truth? 

These sand dunes of the universe 

heat up and cool down through the will of a mind 

that works through and despite the prison of its being structured by connivance 

Are there loyalties to the origin or the perforation of it? 

Did you say God doesn’t exist, 

simply because his potency has been taken away by permeating evil? 

Do you think God is pernickety because he refuses the offerings 

even if, by rejecting them, he must face treachery and torture? 

How long does freedom take to materialise from the clutches of sin? 

If evil can have these incisive talons, what must truth have? 

Believing and hoping after each deluge? 

Can catastrophes avoid apocalypse? 

Does hope survive the fatality, 

in its belonging to a faith and truth   

that propagates an origin that is, perhaps, an eventuality?

Hi, I am Monte Cyril Rodrigues and live in Melbourne, Australia. I am a retired journalist. I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia. I've had voices and visions all my life. I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
