#19 Thy Dusty Masks

Missing image

Looked in the mirror turned to face us,
Rather it or the mask turned to face us,
None of the masks had been inhabited,
None of the masks had been possessed,
Divided the long shadowy room among us.

 

The genuine bearer abide thy essence,
He may pretend but induced into a trance,
The masochist were tended toward repulsion,
Whom masqueraded into whatever impulsion,
Mask of pain, or grief, or pride, or arrogance.


The toad-god laughed, timeless scene lasted,
Laid one's heart bare along the lines possessed,
By all means collected some old possession,
Shock himself with the mask's reflection,
The time was to be taken short noticed.

Abstract: The Treatise on Indulgences 95 Theses
When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent" (Matthew 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be on of repentance.
This word cannot be understood as referring to the sacrament of penance, that is, confession and satisfaction, as administered by the clergy.
Yet it does not mean solely inner repentance; such inner repentance is worthless unless it produces various outward mortification of the flesh.
The penalty of sin remains as long as the hatred of self (that is, true inner repentance), namely till our entrance into the kingdom of heaven.
Martin Luther October 31, 1517

Ask - Know what you want and ask the universe for it.
This is where you need to get clear on what it is you want to create and visualise what you want as being as 'real' as possible.
Believe - Feel and behave as if the object of your desire is on its way.
Focus your thoughts and your language on what it is you want to attract. You want to feel the feeling of really 'knowing' that what you desire is on its way to you, even if you have to trick yourself into believing it – do it.
Receive - Be open to receiving it.
Pay attention to your intuitive messages, synchronicities, signs from the Universe to help you along the way as assurance you are on the 'right' path. As you align yourself with the Universe and open yourself up to receiving, the very thing you are wanting to manifest will show up.
They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham". John 8:39

    Your poem is interesting and it fits this contest well. It doesn't make much sense. Good job. A piece of art.

    Thanks for your entry.
