Faithless

I was ridiculed for writing a poem about angels. There is no need to humiliate someone whose beliefs don't mirror your own. Simply move on.

 When the physical plane around you

dissolves and the floor beneath you
gives way to terror, I hope that the 
ivory tower where you reside leaves
some stones for you to cling to. Up to now
your bitterness has kept you strong. Maybe 
it's a mask for the vulnerability you feel?
Though it be unappreciated, I’ll say a prayer
for you to the angels you so sarcastically
deride.

Stay too true to your values and aspirations, LG.
Never let anybody dampen your spirit or fervor for life.

I hope you grace us with your presence again soon on AD..

Until then.

I agree with you. Sadly people often deny and attack things and people they do not understand. Sometimes in self denial, sometimes out of fear and sometimes out of plain stupidity. I have been ridiculed before about my believes in some things or lack of believe in others but I can only shake my head and walk away...they are not worth the argument. Well said Lin...

I know of whom you speak. He inspires scornful pity at times. You dealt with it well here. "your bitterness has kept you strong" is spot-on. Praying for those who provoke you is something I do myself. It works very well. r

A kind and compassionate response…
I feel sad for such people who feel the need to
be so unkind…
We are surrounded by Angels, and we can call on them
anytime…

With love,
Diana…🍃

Such a classic example of "turning the other cheek" and choosing compassion. Some people are hard to comprehend, many do not know what love is and even less how to express it. Love, peace, and best wishes to you, Lin.

P.S. I believe in angels. They have saved me on a lot more than a single occasion, even from my own self.
