LIFE’S BRIEF ENCOUNTER

LIFE’S BRIEF ENCOUNTER

Life is like a beautiful snowflake 
That appears from the overcast skies 

Falling from its lofty place and miraculous birth
It is tossed and carried by the currents 
Of choices and decisions

It graces the world with beauty and splendor 
For a moment, it captures the eyes and minds of others 
Constantly falling and changing its appearances 

Then, like all beautiful snowflakes, 
Life evaporates in the atmosphere of birth 
Or melts away with its brief encounter with sin

As it is said,
“The soul that sin shall die.”

Wilford Barker.

I do hate the way the word sin is so flagrantly tossed from the mouths of our religious leaders, a word that keeps us in order, in check. Sin is to miss the point, to be without. It has held us back, it places a fear upon us but how can we be afraid of not missing the point when we don't know what the point is.

Great poetry Wilford.
