Altar of Repose

Altar of Repose

A life of partial compose
Born of barren prose
My time enrobed
In borrowed yoke
Mid the insurrection
I pray for divine intervention
And grip the splintered cross of resurrection
My sins of number and fashion
Seeking refuge in the arms of compassion
At the altar of repose
I genuflect 
Sans regret
And hold vigil
For redemption's virgin

Pamela Miller
