Well, i just love this one because it so so vividly describing the moments feeling.. it's just venting of feelings i've had for quite a long time in my life. And it is also special because i wrote it while i feeling boring rather than emotional (i only write when i am an emotional wreck:P). It's definitely from my subconscious mind, because my conscious mind was way too bored with the physics lecture i was attending. Yes, i did write it in my physics class, but hey, it's TOO BORING!!This poem is at equilibrium between old and new poems. Please do comment on it, and i am sure many people can relate to it too....

IT TOOK ME A LONG WHILE TO UPLOAD IT BECAUSE MY DSL WAS CREATING A BIG PROBLEM!!! View table of contents...

God liveth in us,
guiding us with his hand,
but often times their is a fuss,
who to follow? God or our friends?

friends and heart, all are one,
following them i get a cloud of peace
but then i'll have to renounce god's decree,
i want peace, but will ever God accept me?

My heart is not serene,
for i follow God's commands,
will this go on till eternity?
Is this what God demands?

Hmmm. I understand the dilemma you write about.
I especially like the last stanza.
I'm glad you were able to write something when you weren't an emotional wreck:)
Very good.

We talk of gaining God's acceptance for what choices we make but we only speak of wanting to please our friends. Aye... there's the rub! If we put and please God first, we will gain only the friends that will love and support us. Of course, I didn't say it was easy!!!

A thought provoking piece. Well done!

Peace.....Jerry

:D ya, my every poem is just for that particular time. I am sure many other people of this generation feels the same way too.

I must admit not religious, so Ive never been worried if what i do will gain gods acceptance. I do what i do because i think its right, or because i think someone will benefit from it. "will this go on till eternity?" that lane made me thing, Eternity if often seen as already started, Like all time, but "till eternity" very thought provoking.

Yeah i didn't really take of that word eternity. I just wanted to show a long time period and i really thought that "eternity" is going to be better considering the poem's theme. Thanks for the support and comment :p
