Kim Rodrigues Poet Couplet

Awaken Adriennes

The brighter, the flame-kiss.
So holy, reborn bliss.
The infill, a housing.
The trumpet arousing.
The oiling, the shiny-beard.
Aaron’s hope, sans afeard.
A lamp on, asleep ten.
Awaken, Adriennes!
A-grooming, He’s arrived!
A dark side, some lamps revived.
Then oil sought, an ocean deep.
Adrienne crew, the midnight weep.
A wise few, extra stored.
The groom’s here! Our Savior Lord!
The joyous, an inner-smile
from head to crown, an eternal-while!

Based on the bible’s The Parable of the Ten Virgins Matthew 25
