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 © veritatem voluntatem 2016
