Good Is What God Wills Poem by Niko Tiliopoulos

Good Is What God Wills

Rating: 5.0


On the night of the Barley moon
he became a lost soul;
dark matter in the whirlpool of creation;
the dust of a burned-out star;
a fading light;
a fake miracle;
a fallen angel.

He had forsaken his loved ones;
he had forsaken his God.

And God punished him.

He was sentenced
to drift in the cosmos
locked inside a shell of desolation,
in a bubble of unfulfilled prayers,
in a prison of false hopes.

And any one who loved him was cursed
to hurt him and be hurt by him in return.

He died like he was born:

Listening to the cries of his fears;
to the dull beating of his sorrow.
Cold, weak...
alone.

Niko, there's a good old Scottish saying that goes: - Rainbows come out o' rain's drips; meaning to know joy you must know sorrow; so take courage, you can unwrap your future; and take comfort - my much respected friend. Elizabeth

A wise man had told me once that as long as you don’t lock yourself in a cage of fear, sorrow, and despair, any action you take, any “mistake” you make, always brings you (eventually at least) to a better place. Just accept it. No regrets! Regrets are the first step toward that cage of fear. Everything is for the best. Just keep on moving. CeCe
