''A Poet's Testament'' Reconceived
For when life's journey ends, I'll at last die;
and won't be sad (for I'll be old and glad)
because I gave my very best reply
to God by praising him though I went mad.
Now, I pray daily to be God's chos'n light.
In spirit, with Him, I make communion:
light candles, burn incense, to spark the night;
and call His presence to bless our union.
Pure, naked, unblemished, I know the Word.
In inspired scripture, I'm joined with His flesh;
with verse, I wield His powerfully sharp Sword,
to let the Waters of Life flow afresh
in measures and rhymes for this testament:
The one I love, the King of Kings, the Rose
(of this poem that inspires my sentiment)
of Sharon from Song of Songs, whom I chose!
