About This Poem

EXODUS

Incense woven prayer.
Kneeling, bowing, humbling,
Freed of thought, of this world,
to receive thoughts not of!
Hot flames engulfed my feet,
Consuming filthy flesh.

Walking out the ash,
Embers trapped in glass,
A purified soul,
to present to God.
Whoredom; he deals not!

Here I stand Lord.
Completely bare.
Gender-less soul,
Beautiful wings.

Weight removed,
So I soar,
Feeling free.

Redeemed,
Purchased,

Soul!

By The Scribe M. Linton

    A beautiful testimony, and encounter Scribe - very Brahmin like, but uniquely scibe! I admire the confidence you have in your worth - sometimes the flesh & it's trappings can be repulsive - 'Embers trapped in glass...' is fantastic - J.A.B. %

    That's correct. Pronunciation is the key factor!

    Wonderful Hexaverse !Enjoyed.(pl.check the syll.count of 5th line:)

    ML Avatar SCRIBE ML Date: 6/18/2012 8:21:00 AM Block poet from commenting on your poetry

    Thanks.....but the syllable count is right. The word is a 2 syllable word, that can be argued as a single syllable word!

    Oh yeah, this has you written all over it! Sheesh, you totally out-maneuvered my own entry for David's contest. This is easily one of my favourite poems of yours. I just saw your latest comment on my blog....dun worry, I don't swing that way either lol. I love you as a brother, and not like a wife. That would be too weird :D
