the lightning bolt

she believes
in God, practices
her faith
religiously,
but has an issue with
the sex
part of the rules,
sex outside
of marriage to be exact.
who gets married anymore,
she wonders
out loud,
but I feel guilty
afterwards.
and you?
all the time,
I say,
but it doesn't seem
to stop me,
if things go that way.
i'm thankful though
for a forgiving
and compassionate
God and hope that His
patience
will not end,
that He will not angrily
throw a lightning bolt
my way.
