i folded my hands down
knowing g*d wouldn't hear
so i took my prayers back
and took a dirt road home
dreaming of a girl
with the autumn hair
while twilight falls
like sin from my hand

crows cry omens
from behind falling leaves
while i carve out my destiny
with a rusted blade
and i have run beyond
the wants of men
fallen from the grace
of g*d's hand

so i will kiss my love
under the hangman's tree
all i have done
is all that i am
and it's now all between
the earth and me
my hand is steady
but my heart is blind
so the light of g*d
can't lead me
back home

As Jerry said regards unsettling the mind and sanity, I have always been unsettled with regards both, so this poem is just kinda fun for me...;) Ed

Profoundly moving, shattering write--you aren't alone in feeling like g*d doesn't listen. :(

Sad write. You have to forgive yourself first. God is always there for you.

Heavy (a little sixties' slang) poem, here, annd one that I can sink my teeth into. Poe-ish around the edges but truly your own creation and one that unsettles the mind and sanity of the reader. VERY good.
