Galilee

night had begun to beseech 
thy wretchedness covered 
deeply amidst toiling postures 
craving naught gently i'd withered 

throughout the infamous 
meanings according to mark 
while i'd entered a certain realm 
surrounded by lost pebbles 

underneath st anthony's 
weathered sandals 
we are but martyrs 
wailed from an aching voice
 
of a fragile old woman captured 
within haste soiled 
by the very nature henceforth 
seen as cleansing thee earths core 

bottled just so catering to 
the whelms of st francis 
while day redeemed 
sudden past times for the jest 

marking the dawn at play 
lessons folded between 
creases that behold gravity 
clinging to crawling vines 

soiled in indifference
why we manage to master 
the suns ray an yet hide 
from the moon under my feet 
 
noticing an open gate 
concealing wrath beyond 
a daunting task measured 
in pure completeness
