Cadence of a Bride - Faith

This is it,
In midst of chaos -primal
Greeny bloom woods,
Riseth the morning- alive

Is Sunshine a freedom?
Or a journey - lone
Wandering on paths - stray
Desires went abode

Yet on lane destiny- future
Memories meeked all momentum
Yearnings of purpose 
Contradict the broughtup- slavery 

Of genuine home- egypt
Where needs satiate,
Desires met slight,
Blurred every shades-plight

Stationed present edged
the motion independence
Weaved enough - aggravated 
To find a sight - right

Now, ye discern 
Of way sorjournees
Who sought only physical
Lapsed away from the head - eternal 

Me - desperately denied
as them few - natural
Looking forth unto hills - zion
On direction fifth
With faith bodacious - in above

Walking cadence towards 
works which setteth-  beforehand 
Not to prove, but to love
As a faithful bride
In the end.

A richly spiritual and contemplative poem, moving through chaos, longing, liberation, and steadfast faith with vivid biblical resonances. Its free-verse cadence and fragmented, image-led phrasing create a pilgrim’s sense of movement, culminating beautifully in the humble devotion of walking not to prove, but to love as a faithful bride.
