Put Down the Scythe

| 2 Comments

                HAVE YOU EVER…..

  Moved through life as if with a scythe?

  Causing pain, causing retreat…defeat.

  Do you ever sit and ponder your havoc?

  Do you ever pray not just for forgiveness,

  but for the rebirth of those left behind?

  Partly to assuage your guilt, partly to

  give life again to a lovely heart; you lay 

  in the dark praying for good things to

  befall the sweetness that is not yours.

  Put down your scythe!  

  Pray they open the door to their happiness.

  2. The prayer is for the person to find the key to unlock the door. Sometimes it gets washed away with all the tears. Maybe an angel will come along with the key. Maybe

Write. Talk. Tell me everything.
