found this on some scrap paper around my computer. I wrote it months ago, when a friend of mine was off her meds and contemplating suicide. Decided against editing any of it, and just go ahead and post it, since I hadn’t post anything in a while, so

Well that was lovely. It seems a bit dark and hopeless at times, but the end brings it around. Nice poem on a religious theme.

This is quite nice. I like the grand overarching theme…and despite what appears to be a recurring religious theme of hope and positivity, this could be spun into the darkside quite easily ;-)

Woe. Just wow! Deep, dark. Yet hopeful and positive. Enlightening. If you shared this powerful poem with your friend. I hope it contributed to saving their life. Very biblical. Loved the mansion part

It certainly does seem like a “grand cosmic joke” at times. Well done.
