I lie in this wonder in the hope of that ultimate miracle: A poem 

(…free of the treachery of thieves and hijackers like Prakash Saint Paul, Anthony Albanese and their ilk) 

Do you think love was a weaver’s factory 

where you can predict what is ultimately woven? 

I can say I found true love in a wicker basket 

of a cradle; without being able to possess it? 

Do you think I felt sceptical that I need redemption from the folly of such belief? 

I believe, even if they compel me to think that love, for me, is a shut vault 

buried deep in the sands of a universe 

that have my enemies take my sublime ambience with  

a prodding stick to incite me to feel frustration 

and then please them with my helpless subjection! 

I am not forgiving anybody for comfort and convenience! 

No matter how much they seem to render all that I cherish to humiliation! 

I feel my justification is in a silent congratulation 

that I myself haven’t heard but yet prone to faith 

We have voices coming from an unseen eternity 

like Dad beckoning in soulful dignity, that this 

is no waste of effort, even if Fate makes no haste of 

its choices. We are not libertine, but the evil that shackles 

us seems to be. They are also surreptitious from a  

Stygian realm. But I know mother is watching over me! 

Her wand is dropping magic dust all over my perspective 

And I lie in this wonder, expectant of an ultimate miracle!

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.
