In the shadows of St Vitus stood I
like a weary rock

somewhere between the gates guarded by the barbarians
and the stage of the hopeful
the powerful
the pure of Christ

drawn to the side were we
where the spirit flowed warm, and freely
like the heat, power and fire of old

beneath and beyond the Arch Bishop's reach
near his palace
at the footsteps
as the Cardinal looked on

to hear the words of the mighty
a prayer of Spiritual Awekening
an anointing no living man has seen

they prayed, they asked, we asked
with hesitant breath those who knew the language

Are you willing to lay your life down
to bring forth that which you long for?
that which you seek?

in this land there stood
the bruised and battered in spirit
the meek

a remnant few
to stand in a nation
for something new.

Very Nice!
It is fun to read it out loud.
The only problem is, now I am jealous of your talent.
