And if Your words were true ; what then, I ask.
No time to consider; none for doubting.
The self will show right through my goodly mask,
not deft, I fell for the devil’s touting.
In the blink of an eye, in that short spell,
humanity’s snatched from this earthly stay
and where dear Father, will my spirit dwell
should your words be true , all the words you say.
‘Cause it’s much too soon for this road to end,
‘cause I’m still a child afraid of the dark,
‘cause my essence burns and I need to mend,
and laugh and love and make my worldly mark.
‘Cause I need to know why the lamb has strayed,
if your words were true , all the words you’ve said.
Carmen Ruggero .2005
you put this poem together quite marvelously ...
Excellence glows and perseverance flows
"In The Blink of an Eye"...
In this English Sonnet, the Major Art glows.
I salute You, Sublime Poet!

Reminds me of the story I heard about two friends dying. One rich- non believer- one poor -Believer- The rich one had to leave all his wealth behind. The poor man was soon about to receive his wealth.
Masterfully written Carmen..
