NINTH CIRCLE
We are all in the Ninth Circle. The fat and flabby Satan, that devil of old Beats his leathery wings of decrepitude Summoning such a freezing blast of wind Not even the wildest of fires within the heart can withstand. Humanity together as one cohesive disease We wallow in our own filth to the noxiousContinue reading “NINTH CIRCLE”

Ark of Salvation
“I can’t remember in detail how it all came about. I found myself inside never wanting back out. The rugged and sturdy beams of solid wood are strong. They’ve been tested, never bested suffering long. This mighty ship is relentless and tenacious heading to God’s land. Stubborn and unchanging like her captain who leads usContinue reading “Ark of Salvation”
