the saint of the pyre by Fr. Kurt Messick Wednesday, June 11, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan An original poem ----------------------------
the saint of the pyre smiled at me for he knew i would believe in him in his truth in truth alone which persists and dogmas of priests had managed to hide in foreign languages i stumbled across the truth one day in a vacant corner in my mind and the light inside has never stopped not even as flames engulf me as i smile at you An excerpt from A Chorus of Voices by Kurt Messick Dry Bones Press, February 2003

Oh, this is a thought provoking, powerful poem! It sent my mind in many directions. Funeral pyre, fire, consecration, consummation, change, reformation, realization!! I'll be pondering this one for quiet a while ....and enjoying this mental journey!

I'm smiling back. Truth does find its way to our hearts, if we simply let it in. Nice write.
