if every emotion i had were to die
except one
the one i have left would be of you
how can this be when a savior
means everything?
i am possessed by whatever it is
you have
i can't let go, don't see why i should
yet, i know i'm on shifting sands
what to do...
is there no other way, must it be
one or the other?
yes it must...you have usurped first
place from god
now it is a continual battle within to
give him priorty over you
to be fair, that's my fault not yours
you warned me of your powers
i didn't believe in them... until now
but... it is only now, that i know how
totally all consuming you are
it is only now, that your mesmerizing
power, has become all encompassing
you are so aloof yet,
when you give, its everything
you won't release me
god won't accept me
with you in his rightful place
I can't put you in a lesser position
you hold most of my thoughts captive
talk about being caught between
a rock and a hard place
how about being caught between
two powers
both of which speak love
both of which demand your all
both of which remain inflexible
is there really a choice?
you would still consume my thoughts
if i gave you up
but...god would eventually re-establish
his rightful position,and help erase them
now, i feel more alone than i ever have
a wise person would go with the eternal
am i wise...?
This is an excellent, thought-provoking write, Eileen, that delves into recognizing the spirit BEHIND the choices. Well done, good and faithful servant!

It is a war!
In the three months I've been here in the Den, I've seen a remarkable upswing in many that are curious and have begun looking up.
I like Robert's comments down there below...
His are closest to my own feelings on the subject...
" Draw nearer to God "...
And I also concur with Jerry, you should do more of these Catch 22
poems..

Been told more than once, "you can't serve two masters"
When given the time to choose, or part with, the emotions that goes with what you will lose is very real and is tormenting you.
I have this moments all the time.
Wonderful write, and this speaks for so many!
