...From Cradle to Grave...

 

 

    

Tongue circled around froth along
rim of rosary Elder beaded
with contrast: surplus and squander
in emerald laced along ebony

protective coat complimented, called
to wild vulture on pedestal overlooking
hedge where thorn imbedded heel
scribed fictitiously by evil entity.


     
- The Seventh Sign -

Lies did loosen from stronghold,
cheat detection when bribe broke
zodiac code of ethics, passive etiquette
assumed as penance.


       "Will you die for him?
WILL YOU DIE FOR HIM?"



Voice stabbed at muscle, attacked
under fleshed robe on loan in this Life.

Mortal wore bib like babe in cradle
about to nurse yet no one
was there.

All the actions done, crusade sacrificed
for what...to salvage some homeless man?

Expectation of Eden, a reward to reap
also sow for some half hearted leap
of Faith because buoyancy after floods
was secured, somewhat.

Flogging flashed 'Past' before windows,
bled blame, pointed in direction
where Damnation could be avoided
and again Mortal was skewered,
severed tongue able to pronounce- Me.


- Help Me - heard from head, felt in Spirit...
                    
not - Help Him -


a stranger without physical worth,
rags soiled, attributed to absent identity.
Orbs hollowed after starvation but stayed
focused to serve Mankind.


Homeless Man hated by another's insecurities-

He was nailed onto society's wood, again
because his breath not sweet enough,
did not satiate thirst for material things,
emotional bondage or bring spiritual fidelity
in manner Mortal desired

                                                    

and 'presumed' disappointments distracted
from what a Father's love did already give.











Author notes

Spoke from Spirit until told when to stop...

to help another in need- never know who
lies underneath rags- ...spiritual riches...

    This is one of the most beautifully written spiritual pieces I have ever read.

    Truly, this goes far beyond profound.

    Wow..........this write is just amazing!!

    You have really touched the heart and soul of the reader with such vivid images, and thoughts. It is very sad that some people judge others so harshly just because they look different than they do, for whatever reason.

    So sad that some
    would dare deem them worthless.

    Excellent writing, especially using a word bank.

    Simply Outstanding!

    First I am going to address your authors notes while they are still fresh in my mind... if the hostess of this contest by passes this write due to length... she is missing out BIG TIME! ( and she should really consider expanding her views in reading material... just my opinion of course)

    As for the poem: This is one incredible read, I found myself lost in your words and I could have stayed if this was a novel. This was written in pure perfection. I was captivated from beginning to end, each line was bait luring me to the next line. I have to say that of all your writes this is my new favorite of the bunch. It is simply outstanding!
