transversing across two paths in a wood
I see Mr. Frost and his peace, keeping in time with virtue
Forging a gallery of my own
I draw a circle in the sand
place me in the middle
watching the world
I summon God and her wisdom
To find my demons
have come instead
Wolf and Raven, craving my attention
I place my hand
empty out to them
as a seed manifests
I watch as it grows into wheat
the Wolf howls, the Raven says
Nevermore
as the wheat matures
I am left with my hand full of life
I present to the Wolf and Raven
who eat the grain and retreat
I am alone once again
I thought I was an atheist but
I am God.

I can’t get enough of your writings. They’re very thought-provoking and compelling. Keep it up! I always look forward to reading more!
There is much here to contemplate. I like the concept of a lonely god as you've presented here. And to see demons coming instead of God, that's very interesting; does God have demons in the same way we use the term? My mind is spinning with this one.
By Mr Frost, do you mean Robert Frost? Because that's who came to my mind when I saw 'two paths in a wood'. I also like the epiphany at the end!
Hmmmm ..... I'm weirdly inspired. 🤫
I love how you referenceGod as a she and then as yourself. We are all powerful.
Chin-strokingly good! Well done, I also as a Poe fan love the use of the Raven and Nevermore.
