She's far from patience
And beauty is so thick
When you find me,
Worthless
You wonder at the rot

Open my skull and see whats inside
And unravel some chains from my heart
The golden ones from my red heart
And look

That last hope
Sitting in a grave with bones
Rip it out
Its alive
And clatter is the sound of thudding flesh

Feel this
It come alive
Grab me from within
Jerk from my eyes

That beast rises
To an established rise
Risen again
Into harmonic skies

Plateau from stranded to happy
And even content

Just sigh...
------------

I look at God and he says,
"Told you so." and tells to run along
While he smiles at one of his kids

The promise of patience almost must be here
If you'll only wait...

Given freely
And
Freely given


let God  ROAR,... in power...

GIS, what I meant by the other side has to do with faith.  Someone that can see this world and what may be beyond.  Your post remined me of faith and hope.  Hope this reply answers your querry.  Steve.

Loved the first two lines, made me think of "her" as not a person but a feeling. Great writing, as always, you don't need to be told that anymore, do you?

Won't you look down upon me,

You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time i

"The last hope"
"Feel this"
"Plateau from stranded to happy"
"Just sigh"...

aaaahhhhh.... now that was a nice kind of sigh. you always manage to tuck such beauty into the stark. we have to read "just between the lines".

great poem, craig!

of all the things we try to find... it's only love we keep.

Thank you everybody.  You're all friends to me.  

Steve- ah yes faith.  Trying to try the test assured.  yeah.

Courtney, actually the her is an actual person, and she's awesome.  But don't stop telling me.  I like to hear it.  lol.

Eve, grab those few lines that make sense and do have the beauty that I didn't realize were actually in that order.  And that being the case and you were the one who picked it out, who's the more beautiful?  love ya man.

"Risen again into harmonic skies" is where I get my sighs....aaaahhhhhh....lol
Since we're pulling out beautiful lines...
Nice write, my friend.

Wings bruised from turning away in such confined space...Not broken...still healable...still feathered with life, somewhere

darkness, actually this isn't really a faith based poem.  I was talking to Her and She inspired me and with this inspiration I thought about the honor my friend spelled out to me the other day.  So I brought it back around and gave thanks to my maker for the beauty he gave me that isn't from me.  Sorry I know this reply is a little thick.  thanks

-Purity its only beauty grasped by the beholding eye's heart.  Like a reflection.  lol.  Thanks
