Awaiting Miracles
Your advice to wait
Has left me in water
Drowning softly
Going no farther
Glossy views beneath
Calling to the father
Passing in an undertow
Complaining of stains
Left from the blood pouring
Out of twin eyes
Listless in their mourning
Lost days of fearless youth
Love is left distraught
In uncertain, timid interactions
Belligerent words have fought
Each new sermon served
And the lack of a lesson taught.

Love is left distraught
In uncertain, timid interactions
Belligerent words have fought
Each new sermon served
And the lack of a lesson taught.

As I was reading a painting came to mind. Have you ever seen an OC painting by the name “Spring of the drowned girl”? If not I’ll include a link. Your write and this painting, in my opinion of course, would fit beautifully together.

A thought-provoking poem, for sure. The whole world could do with a miracle right now.

It certainly could. I do not foresee any miracles coming though sadly.
