blind faith

invisible God

praying is kissing

the future

hoping to wed

a good place

in the beyond.

praying is akin to begging ... oh please do this please don't do that
faith is the unrewarded wishful evil of lies

a good write jacob ... but you are wrong again
there is no proof of beyond

[jacob erin-cilberto]

ah, but I did not say in the poem there was...I said there are those who believe there is.

I keep my faith which is more spiritual than ritual. Everyone is different in their journey. I take out lots of the falsehoods and stupidity that has been added and stick with the universal themes.
No blind faith for me either, sir Jacob.
You are awesome.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I hear ya, Sami, I hear ya.

Yes siiiirrrrr.

I have to see to believe. Not always been this way. I had my years of blind faith, sadly down the pan now. Hell is here on earth, and as for heaven, I have had a glimpse of that too, on this planet. What comes next is anyone's guess. I like surprises.

Interesting take here. I wonder what the devout would do if it was determined that Big G doesn't like flattery.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I imagine he doesn't like it.
thanks, John,

You have managed a Wallenda without falling and without a net. Quite the accomplishment.

I was fortunate enough to be raised with a strong faith that believes the afterlife will be wonderful...assuming we make the right choice while living here on planet earth. And for me that means believing Jesus Christ is the Son of God and accepting Him as my Lord and Savior. I know this is a VERY religious response and should you choose to delete it I will not be offended. You will always be my friend Jacob and I adore your poetry! ~Sharon

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I would never delete a post that shares your true feelings, Sharon.
this kind of response is what I was looking for...each to his or her own belief.
thank you,

Boom!
This explodes in the mind Jacob. Wow. You have picked a very hot coal from the soul of our culture and tossed it in to the dry weeds of our preconditioned minds.

Yet, I find myself willing to give this "kiss" and keep my "faith" even as I see how fragile and entwined with assumption my life has always been. I am sure reality has nothing to do with my expectations... it never has.

Loving this write.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

thank you for your very kind review, Scott,

dearest Jacob… praying is kissing … is a peaceful thought that could be kept close to your 💜 Heart. Our Spirit that motivates us.. is what keeps us as Sheep in a field of Lillies. When we take our last Breath.. we will perhaps discover the Light. softly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I think we will...
thank you, Pat,
