Beckoning One

Forged as thought was wrought foretold

Beaten mettle, emblazoned, bold

Molten cast in conscience cold

Incessant torment, be abided by none

 

Life’s bitter promenade by pride

Sore invited  and faith derides

Draught ardor’s will, coincides

Remanded to Travail's dire dungeon

 

In epochs unwinding and distilling of time

Vast, near innumerable ancestry, blind

Disparaged vision of the Messianic Line

Depravity’s want fulfilled obsession

 

Hostage to its ill reservations

Reprehensible gloom bleeds aspirations

Oh, dreamless crevasse, where is salvation?

Now prayer avails by the Healer’s ascension.

 

'Ere the sun it’s mocking rays

Decry my heart in penance pays

A debt beyond my life-long ways

Eclipsing black, shines the Beckoning One

 

Light of Life, King of Days

My hollow will is yours, amazed

Will gift unceasing, my Maker’s praise

Faithful and True, in Heaven's procession.

Another wonderful Disney movie in production, filled with a size-able amount of madness, promises, white knights, and happy endings. Your ability as a fiction writer is fearless.

I don't believe that, and don't think you do either. lol. Thanks for reading and reviewing as only you can, to spur me beyond Disney. (might I have been a castle in another life?) On second thought, fiction is a great market!

This is beautiful, Marsink! Had to break open the dictionary a couple of times, but absolutely love your writing in this poem!

Praise the Lord. We should all be so devoted as to pen a verse such as yours, Marsink.

thanks, Mangeo! I'm glad to have hit a chord with you, and will consider you a brother in Christ. Much appreciative of your kind assessment

If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
