Rider

Through a mystical desert he rides His horse's nostrils breath fire This is the land of the damned The sun beats down mercilessly Yet the rider remains strong Drawing on ancient reservoirs A strength beyond his own Evil has fled to this desolate place The land of demons Regaining it's strength Together they gather Yet they are alone Powerless to fight the rider In his hand a two edged sword A breast plate Ligure prominently displayed Glowing leading his way A pericope ripped from the fabric of the Devine Each word will be fulfilled Evil thrived Now it will be killed A lake of sulphur The Devil's time expired The rider rides The desert revived A new earth is formed The King is King In the heavens Angels sing Tears washed away Springs gush from the ground Flowers abound New Jerusalem Quadrivial Four winds meet at central point All his children gather there Armageddon The end of history The revealing of all Mysteries The mystical He reveals And we sigh Justice Victory The Devil falls July 17, 2013 Any Subject contest Sponsored by Shadow

Well Richard, if the Bible were written in this form I am sure there would be a stampede in the Bible book store. Great theme, great diction and congratulations on your well deserved win :)

My writing pales to the writing of the scripture and it is written exactly as it should be. As with most treasures it requires the reader to search it out and dig to find the gold and diamonds beneath the surface. I am however pleased that you enjoyed my artistic expression.

WOW Richard.. such a powerful poem! The first stanza is so dark, then comes the light, hope and victory. The enemy has already been defeated, and will take another fall into hell at Armageddon-- how reassuring for us Christians to know.

Yes we can rest on the fact the battle is already won.
