Pardon Me, Is This Seat Taken? (For The Love of Christ)

Pardon Me, Is This Seat Taken? (For The Love of Christ)

A Poem by Pete
"

Make the most of your regrets; never smother your sorrow, but tend and cherish it till it comes to have a separate and integral interest. To regret deeply is to live afresh. - Thoreau

"
The Parable of the Empty Pew �

dressed in saliva
haunting sins and sorrows spit
no room in the pew

Author's Note

Pete
"One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors for to dwell long upon them is to add to the offense, and repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by somewhat better, and which is as free and original as if they had not been." - Thoreau
