John Freeman Poet Quatrain

"love's Reign"

As former things must, they do, pass away
Thus heaven and earth created anew
Doves of peace soar above, forbidden fruit
Let truth soar, arise into celestial blue

Cut asunder clay forms, of serpent fiction
By fire of creation, fiction's formation
Equality, left of fact, new earth in balance
New life rejoice, in holy acclamation
 
Out of water's strife, new dedication of life
The city, serpent’s whore, shall be no more
City of light be in spite, of serpent's plight
Love sons for ever more sail, celestial shore

Lynette Chachere May 8, 2010 at 12:12 AM that forbidden fruit did begin anew. but it also formed troubles. even so, the light will always reveal the truth that there is a beautiful part in this. and wiser spirits who will express that through their ancestors, and more family yet to come.and love of all kind. great write & thoughts moses. i saw that picture on the contest page, i thought it was amazing.deffinetely many things to see, i was a bit awestruck by it. -Always&Forever Lynette
