I believe in stone more than <br />promises or petty things like wishes. <br />In rain and fire and the warmth of <br />red wine and whiskey. I've thought <br />Of gods and demons <br />decided I prefer lightning storms, <br />what a road smells like after rain. <br />How tracing telephone lines and <br />staggered paint across the country <br />brought more hope than any song <br />sung about a god.<br /><br />Ben Paynter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/god-this/
