Transcendence

Submitted by Gina I. on Fri, 10/14/2016 - 03:54

Beyond life
Will I find rest?
Beyond sorrow
Will I find joy?
Beyond chaos
Will I find peace?
Beyond hate
Will I learn to love?
Beyond death
Will I be alive?
Beyond reason
Will I lose my mind?

Will I transcend?
Rising beyond
All the pain of this life
Will I rise again?
Defying death
At last with my Lord
Transcendent

I do know that. I claim Christianity without a doubt, but I do like asking questions that prod other people to consider things like this.
On another note, I actually wrote a second part to this, which I'm adding.

I figured. :) I like to ask such prodding questions, as well. :) I love the last bit you added. Like Meghan said, the one word at the end boils it all down and finishes it. Quite perfect. You have quite a lovely gift with your poetic mind!

I don’t thrive off of chaos: chaos thrives off of me.

Gina, I just went on your profile page. Did you just delete alot of your posts? Nooo... :(
like the repetition in this, and at the end you give one word, which emphasizes it. Nice.

I cleaned out my page a bit. The stories I left are the ones with the biggest chance of continuing, although it's still not huge. =P I seem to find my better writing in poetry, non fiction, and short stories, so we'll have to see what happens.
