Braving the Stillness

Radiating waves of thoughts unseen, the battle gallant rages in sub-hematoma nether places An invisible clash against dark principalities from the shadow realm, the stricken valiant breathe with unconscious, godly certainty Braving the acute stillness of the existential void, the journey to elevated triumphant entry is fraught with Golgotha mob Pilate crash noise Imperceptibly the spirit moves righteously, as the stillness quakes at each new dawn star rising And the inert, smitten shell of the battle weary frail falls into deep watery dreams of the loving hopeful ... Moving moments of temporal tears shed — intimate prayer wishes infinitely cast upwardly well Dedicated to my late beloved father, Freddie.

Freddie, Have not heard from you in so long and I see you are not submitting lately. Hope you are well and sorry to hear about your father. May you be blessed and hope to hear from you soon. This is really a great one straight from the soul filled with religious and secular imagery and goes so well. Spectacular write. FAVE

May the Lord comfort you among all mourners. May your father rest in peace, and may you know no more sorrow. Heart and hands extended, Gershon

In grief you have produced another compelling and eclectic write, but now with a sad tone... very sorry for your loss, RomWar, but very pleasing to see you back here. Peace, rest, always.
