Poem Commentary

this came to me after i saw my dead family members come to visit this Christmas.

why?

 

Why, oh lord

Don't you answer my prayer?

To end the pain, sorrow

and strife

and bring happiness instead.

 

Why, oh lord

Do angels come down

and take our loved ones

to the mansion

with the golden gates?

 

Why, oh lord

Does the music I hear

always sound of sadness and despair?

And the voices I hear sound of

heaven's own angels?

 

My sweet lord

the guidance of power

will lead us down

a lonely road and

lead us to our loved ones again.

Although I'm newly agnostic, I thought this was nicely done. As a former Christian, I know from whence you come.
