Faith Aureate Soul

Written: January 17, 2024
                          _________________________________

Delphic melodies on
elysian breeze
lustral chorales in amber
from spiritual chronicles,
seven seas mingle in tandem
in abyss quietness
of an arcane heart,
sky spreads sapphire salacity
in wispy turquoise
of unfathomable horizon.
In inked echoes
of aureate verse,
endured true self, mystic,
Beset by a harsh problem?
it's time to shine
gather yourself, and
overcome aptly,
striving to draft
words of faith
that convey emotions,
feeling utterly inept.
Yet, it is our lambent spur 
that compels us to attempt
despite various paths
they all lead back
toward my heart,
includes everything...
everything I foresee
is my mirror,
everything I foresee
is my love...

Thrums of orphic cymbals
in choral melody
crimson wings beat
in furious rhapsody!
In sways of swirling lilts
you glide on tendrils 
of iridescent waves
embracing truth 
we're all fallible,
It's harsh to have a humane life,
still, God is in our midst.
we merely crave faith
that entails conviction,
 
Azulene swirls
of glyphic whirl,
blazing! 
Conga drums
in sibylline upswell,
you waltz to a claret trance
on wisps of tender melody!
One can be driven to
destructiveness, illness, 
or failure by fear
but faith is a stronger force,
that can push itself into
your mind and urge
you to accomplish
embrace power of prayer,
unexpected metamorphosis
may transpire in the aftermath;
beseech Him for abettance.

Dear Lasaad, your ethereal, real, spiritual, dramatic, dynamic imageries thrill my heart, soul and imagination. Every verse is beautiful but I was especially struck by "It's harsh to have a humane life,/still, God is in our midst." So deep, thought-provoking and inspiring. Your brilliant poetic pen is as profound as it is artistic. Congrats for your win in Brian's contest. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

I love how your poem opens with an enchanting description of nature, invoking Delphic melodies and elysian breezes, setting a mystical tone. The lustral chorales in amber evoke a sense of purity and spiritual resonance, drawing the reader into a world of divine connections... wonderful weaving of words and such vivid imagery..

So very emotive, my friend. Words woven with feelings resonate throughout, Lasaad. I like the turn to prayers in the ending.

God is in our midst. Oh if were possible that he inspires us to have compassion.
