Crystal Crucifix


Rain is the sky that cries
Remorseful as the man that sighs;
Liquid sadness dropping like warm love
Icing upon the touch of Gaea’s black grove;
There, nothing grows from the cold
Or yearns to be old.

To all such things there is a core
And deep within is a crucifix that bleeds--
A holy fortress of the sleeping dead,
Dreaming of black birds loose from cage,
Released before creation from one with rage,
So long ago but still their hearts enrage---
But a Son would be born in eternities elixir
To quiet the cries of Angels and sinners.

Captured moments, captured tears
Upon said hymns my Savior hears,
Within listening hearts an adversary fears---
But fear not the prophecy ancient one
The truth is hidden behind Angels and stone,
Where the four horsemen hide and wait
To release a Messiah from His crystal fate.

Marcel

Wow. That's the first poem I've read since I've been back here at Pip. That was amazing. The rhyme scheme wasn't forced and it really flowed. You should be proud you wrote such a beautiful piece. Nice job.
