A Heart Moans, Promises Arrive

A Heart Moans, Promises Arrive

The heart's deepest moans are heard 
          on a victoriously high throne!
Swords, Scepters and Blades have castles made,
     all mercy is not lost when a poet 
          lays bear his gentle soul
      with hope and love so freely shown! 
The pen sings, the mighty sword has been overthrown!
          gentle winds are forever blown
Cries for justice, love and gentle mercies ring
 bells in high clouds gracing earthly scenes
          blasting happiness into this world!

Gabriel blow that promised horn loud
  stir the hearts and souls in every crowd
  let the children learn to love right;
defend spirit with strength and Godly might
      sending evil on a headlong flight
     no longer to ever plague this world
  opened hearts rule fiercely day and night!

Our hearts seek to forever, forever unite!
Light slays blindness, mankind regains blessed sight!

Robert Lindley, 09/21/ 1990

I replied with verses from this write to another fine poet
 this morn. Could not remember it all but that small part 
so I went digging in my stash and finally found it.
Presented exactly as it was written but I wanted to do
an edit and then thought no. Let it stand as is. I must
have thought it a finished piece back then since I signed
and dated it..
