I entered a church Or perhaps it was a cathedral? But it does not really matter, Because its all the same to me. I am not particularly religious, But I believe in a God, and a Devil, And Souls. I like the stories, And the smell of church candles and incense and hope and guilt mixed together With the tantalising intoxicating feeling Of having all your sins spilling out of your throat and every Single part of you. All is seen. So looking at saints and windows and benches And the colours that filter through and leap and dance I sobbed. Because I am scared And because I have sinned And because every moment I am thinking Do I want what I have been given Or am I ready to leave everything behind In the search for divinity.
