the rising Freedom Tower.
demise
there is no logic
to our demise,
destruction, or
plans for such
other than efforts
to forestall it all;
vicious circles
confound my
desire for survival -
questions serve
only to
preserve hope,
vacuous as that
may seem.
I seek logic:
it may be
the only sense
to be had.

Wonderful picture; wonderful words. I also really like the header.
ReplyDeleteRick, Brother,
ReplyDeleteLogic and sense are impossible to "be had." One person's logic is another's irrationality. You already know this, but my feeling is that faith in God and His Son is the only logic.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18:
"16Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."
Read the entire chapter, Rick; indeed ... the whole Book. Hope is what you'll receive in the seeking.
Love you and hope we get some pictures of you and Betty soon!
