peace be with you

Today the air smells of leaving
and I cannot breathe it in
I choke on this – the unswallowable truth:
Jesus wont dissolve on my tongue


      peace be with you...

Peace hangs in the air like incense.
It is here God collects our shells
with the sobs of forgotten men
and takes them, like treasures, home

      thanks be to God...

The organ bleeds mourning in my ears,
recited prayers drone on
and though I do not know the words
they find their foundation in eternity:

     In the name of the Father
     and of the Son
     and of the Holy Spirit
     Amen

I am a little lost on this one Cedric and not sure if you are celebrating the faith offered by organized religion or offering an alternative view as to the way religion and prayer should be understood. Though I do not believe in organized religions I can see how the rituals, icons, incense and stage shows may comfort some.

Regardless, I love the way this poem is presented and the distinct format you chose.

The Father creates and looks after His children. The Son redeem us of our sins. The Holy Spirit is LOVE. My motto and daily prayer: Jesus, I trust in You. For in Divine Mercy, He will take me under His wing. Victor

Cedric, a beautifully spiritual write, one that is void of, nor does it need, the blessings of religion.

Peace,
Dan

Cloying, like incense. Reminds me of my Catholic upbringing...the sounds, the smells, the echoing sadness, the rituals...brought vividly back to life. Well done, Cedric.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Very haunting. Serenity and sorrow all wrapped up in a tight little package. Lovely.

Two phrases come apart of everything, the genuine feeling of one that lost something irrepleasable and are looking for words to tell the word that "the air smell of leaving" and that the silence is broken by "an organ bleeding mourning in the ears"
God bless and that father and son have peace, as it should.

And Peace Be With You. I think we all need to find just the right place to achieve it.

Feels rather like a catholic funeral.
The atmosphere is excellently captured, can feel, see and
smell the essence of you poem. Has a very strong and peaceful presence...

Jesus wont dissolve on my tongue <-----I'll say that to dad when I take him next time...lol
