Since An Epiphany Has Arrived Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Since An Epiphany Has Arrived



The living of life,
Can reveal bewildering moments.
Some are not as stunning as others.
But needless to say,
One that is stunned by an event...
Remembers it never to forget.

Like being picked to have a misdeed done.
One that is intentional,
By someone feeling vindictive.
To have that 'someone' eventually feeling guilty...
Then to ask the victim to forgive and forget.
Since an epiphany has arrived.

'Sure,
I'll remove the knife from my back.
And while I do that,
Why don't you make reservations for us.
We will have dinner then maybe catch a movie afterwards.
Don't worry abour the blood.
I will pretend it's not there.'

This is a very good poem! The subject is very true and moving. I especilly like the last stanza, when the victim is speaking. It gives a whole new view and dimention to the poem. You use an amazing choice of words throughout the poem also (: keep up the good work!
