Within Grace
4 March 2016

Bound by oath
Made in code and blood
Knights will join
Tooth and loin
Though it is the mighty Queen
Who leads King’s battle
Salt for Toth
Sugar for the bees
I pray strong
Though on knees
My sight restored to Unseen
A snake with rattle
Heart in peace
Discovering wills
I float through
Noah’s ark
It rekindles in me spark
Of destiny’s spear
We lead crowd
Bonded in fever
They shout loud
Voices hoarse
Blind eyes decoding the Morse
As I type haggard
We strip folds
From unseeing eyes
Waking up
Seeing lies
They discover land of Oz
Broken the wizard
The King walks
His pace a slow move
While the Queen
Unhindered
Flies high through the battle cries
Sacrifice her groove
Openings
Entrenched in our souls
They beckon
To the grapes
High above the wilting shapes
Of trees in the wind
Holocaust
Burning apple trees
Violins
Aching wood
Empty stomachs yearning food
Beating above dins
Dance to beat
Live die and repeat
Past blunders
Wane thunders
Warning chimes as thief plunders
Plucking from bosoms
Hearts turn cold
This was not the fate
We wrote once
With bright pens
The worthy cooped up in dens
Waiting for lions
Blue craters
They await the sane
Lost haters
Smothered dust
Dissolves into fading rust
Of forgotten steel
She will come
From bowels of Earth
She ignites
My hands gifts
Blue heart throbbing as she lifts
My frame into skies
I am two
Between me and you
I hover
Within Grace
She turns towards me her face
Sunken eyes teardrops
Reading of the poem:

Window to your soul – Delerium
Dark Star – Delerium
Koran – Delerium
Silence – Delerium
Fallen – Delerium
Flatlands – Delerium
“This was not the fate we once wrote”–powerful words.

It had a feel of Knighthood and “Erichood” to it. Loved the music that you added, and always your reading!

Waiting for lions” — I love the contrasts in this stanza and how you build on them. Well done!
