Credo quia absurdum by *LadyCrimson:iconLadyCrimson:



Well, I believe in closets packed with ghouls
and one-eyed spiders
And one-legged centipedes.

I believe in Lazarus rising from his tomb,
in David's slingshot
And Pegasus missing the Ark.

I believe in sunshine and a certain kind of moonshine,
That Poseidon dreams of dolphins with one eye open
And that Venus, in her inner torment, was capable
of cutting wings, and leaving Psyche all alone.

Oh, I believe in the sky's roar when it starts to thunder,
In biblical floods and plagues and measures of wheat
that will one day be measured by Famine.

Well, yes, I believe for the sheer absurdity of it
In cyclops with no eyes,
And in barren trees of life.

Cogito, ergo sum.
Credo quia absurdum.
I think, therefore I am.
I believe because I can
In the galaxies in front and behind of my eyes.

Author's Comments

The title is one of my favourite sayings in Latin. It means "I believe because it is absurd". Faith must be blind, otherwise it's something completely different.

I've been a dA member for a year and three months now. All my interest went into drawings and never on the literary submissions. This is the first time I've been moved by words and I have to tell you - you are very, very good.

such an impressive way with words. formalist would love you :D
:iconsadik18:
unul din motivele pentru care eu nu m-apuc sa citesc poezie este pentru ca nu am niciodata rabdarea sa o termin... insa de asta imi place asa mult cum scrii tu chestii, au o cadenta aparte care te tine de "manuta" pana termini de citit.

The sky is your limit it's certainly not mine.
:iconladycrimson:
thank you :D
Formalist?
