Unbelief

Hurried on without fire
Beneath a tantalising thought
Working all the God-damn day

Far too afraid to mention
Distant dreams with misgiving
Constant wishing, only grieving.

Where must we reach for worthy cause
Or aping jeers of total loss;
Borrowed backs of firebrands past

Holy, unforgetting, we
Gaze into metal jars.
Never mind infinity.

We are cherry-picking;
We are realised;
We are terrible;
We are guarded.

Hello Richard Townrow,

My name is Anders and I came across your blog through another blog.

Since you and many of your readers are Christians I think the website www.netzarim.co.il will be of interest to you. It contains research, previously unknown to most Christians, about Ribi Yehoshua (the Messiah) from Nazareth and what he and his followers taught. Teachings in accordance with the Creator’s instructions manual Torah.

Have a nice weekend!
Anders Branderud
