Flagellum
Flagellum
Penned in broken words upon the pyre of supplication
Embers aloft in deprecated exultation
Hope remains never to be extinguished therein lies my dedication
Hence forth to be laid low no more
In seeking the genesis of the query aloft the embers soar
To the scribe all is laid bare the crown rests gently as those afore
Excised I bid you now to rest and strive not be sated in your cloak
For now crown high fixed upon the horizon a treasured gift of the yoke
Born proudly secure as I travel hence be comforted embers aloft when stoked
In your blazon garb sword and shield banners high glisten with spectacle and flare
Find your way forward never halting neigh relenting forward diligence and care
Undaunted thy be joyful proud forward yet reserved for entrée is precious and rare
Mindful thy shall be of thine vows and oaths sworn
For with them a weight is born
In their absence neigh shall come the morn
Rejoice
Send aloft in supplicated voice
So high now thy flag I bid you hoist
To thy forbearers look and take council and thy will shall not yield
Overlook now thine work upon the field
Salt not the earth nor raise what lays before be sated in what you wield
Regale not for in all shall be whence
Treat it not as valued only a pence
Let it be harvested for seasons hence
