Arch

Are you symbolic gesture that
                summons strange new lands?

                 A magnetic vortex adjoining, 
              spaces between, with frequency
                                      band.

    What gives you the office to officiate journeys, 
                   advertising your prowess 
                like a slippery judge-attorney. 
     Jury at a trade show, bending attentions,- 
     threshold.

  Sprawling out like a rainbow on Earthen gurney 
                                       -then,
                 standing like a giant hero 
                   midstride into miracle.

                                          Doorway?
                                          Mystical?
      What gives you the Authority?
                                   Is it Spiritual?
                                 Metaphysical?

              Like an antenna wed to the Earth,
          morphed into a wedding ring yourself; 
                                      what gives
                you the anointing to do both?
        Christen, glisten and weigh the berth.
                      Only the Lord, only.
Plus, He listens, He knows our hearts, 
and gives YOU all your power of
ceremonial worth.
You are a fraud, masquerading 
as a Golden Eye of God peering through a window. 
Give the credit where it is due and bend the knee.
