Patron Of Hope

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

My existence, thus farLies behind the concrete walls Of a catacomb.Each venture Down darkened,Dreary paths has ledTo a new burial groundFor me to lay my soulTo rest.With each rebirth Of my pneuma reclaimed,My own strength deceived meAs I treaded downUnmarked paths, each one More taxing than the last...Until now.One last time,I arose from My grave of burdenTo find myself engulfedBy the Delphian flame In which you stood.Your alabaster eyesShone with amusement;A soft smile touched The corners of your lipsAs you reached out your handTo guide me down a path untraveled.Your presence illuminated my path.Expressions of faith encouraged my ploy.Before I knew it, a merciful warmth beset me...Sunlight.Not sure bout this one... but either way it's dedicated to my special someone :) Written September 30th, 2001 © on Sep 29 2001 09:50 PM PST   0 • 8 • 12
