On Earth As It Is In Heaven

Cold silence has a tendency
to atrophy any sense of compassion
between supposed lovers.
Between supposed brothers.

Took me three stanzas to decide you had a rhyme scheme going. Not sure I'm all that fond of it. It's different for you.

I notice this running theme of things, elevated things, being beaten into existence. I had a thought, but now I'm not sure. I was about to ask what came first: the essence beaten into shape or the thing that is attempting to forge it, but now I'm stuck on the nature of the "thing" and I may have gone and confused myself. I wish that sounded more academic. Give me a minute...

And is this a reference to the angels on the head of a pin?

The last couple stanzas made me...uncomfortable. ...I'm also having a weird semi-shitty day, so that might have contributed. Agreeing w Quiet on the rhyme scheme. It's a bit odd and sometimes feels forced.

....also the title might have made me giggle a bit, having gone to catholic high and all.

I can't find the picture. Assume there's a tiny dog here beneath a giant depression rock that is thinly propped up by memes and video games.

Okay but actual serious question -- do memes not break the two-word limit rule for posts :|

I do like this part here; this bit of God-birth, especially when compared with the satirical image in my head of the actual purpose of angels dancing on a pinhead.
