Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is faith.
I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com

A philosophical and religious poem about how, despite
inequalities of fate, all are loved equally:
Some are picked for pleasure, some for pain;
Some for pity, others for perfection.
Some are unfortunate, and so remain,
While some seem chosen for the gods' affection.
Some lose limbs or sanity or joy,
Stranded on the road from birth to death;
Some find all the world in their employ,
Riding through rich fields, the lords of breath.
But all are souls, and therefore lost at sea,
Lost, lost, and drowning in eternal grace;
And all must suffer the same agony
And vanish into time without a trace.
And all are loved, and lavished well with love,
And live within a love serene and good.
Fate may cruel or expeditious prove,
Yet one may dwell in glory if one would.
