Learning to live with pain is supposed to be a sign of growth but itOn Pain
©2006 M. Bennett Hooper



Nothing moves us like our perceived pain of our own making
Knowing that one lives among many shadows and laments makes the pain
More bearable and in bearing it we become strengthened
In preparation for the next onslaught
Joy emerges through the dust of past memories
As fires that once warmed us now scorch our souls
And we wonder how heat can be white hot.
Denying that we worshipped other than God
We claim divine punishment for past indiscretions.
Not acknowledging the deity’s’ influence even when accepting
That we not God
Punish ourselves.
does not diminish its' intensity nor slow it's frequency.

As fires that once warmed us now scorch our souls
And we wonder how heat can be white hot.
Denying that we worshipped other than God We claim divine punishment for past indiscretions.
Not acknowledging the deity’s’ influence even when accepting
That we not God
Punish ourselves.

Yes I agree. Not much credit is given to God when things go right but we are often quick to ascribe blame when things aren't going well.

Too much is blamed on God.
We are the architects of our soul's growth and our pain.
Pain hurts like the dickens now matter how it is rationalized. ROFL

Love this...enjoyed reading.

"On Pain"...
An ontologic mytheologic* teleologic theme wisely depicted.

I salute You, Poet!

Long Healthy Creative Life.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
