Past Sins Quotes

“Something's still wrong--the same thing that was wrong forty years ago. A malignancy, a tumor, slowly growing in someone's heart. A conscience that's seared.”
― Heather Day Gilbert, Miranda Warning

“For Having Offended Thee by Stewart Stafford

A rebirth in my other kingdom,
Deafening choruses of mute vampires,
Stowaway's arrival not of my choice,
Treading water on stranger's ground.

The crunching gravel of past sins,
Fine bone dust of wasted chances,
Weighed down at Purgatory's door,
The gatekeepers nod and admit me.

A hurricane swirl of screaming souls,
Housed within Infinity's planetarium,
Whispers, pleas, a drowning outcry,
Metaphysical smothering of bodily errs.
