New Life Given and Glows of a Golden Crown

New Life Given And Glows Of A Golden Crown A pity, stark indifference and sad Paths taken into that darkness and woe It is not that world and all life is bad As willful blindness we let evil grow In course of that we build a blacken room Mold iron shutters to deny the light Glorify our dancing in that black tomb And learn to love evil that parades at night! Yet if eyes are opened we can see Just how deeply we into darkness fell Fathomless horror found we seek to flee Away from those blinding gates of Hell Realization wakes to light's sweet breath Salvation leading to a clear road seen Away from eager hands of fated death And former life that was truly obscene! Rising to dawn's glow and a golden crown We again find life and love's blessed touch Walking from our former shallow renown We may again paint with a joyous brush! Robert J. Lindley, 8-29-2021 Romanticism, ( Treasure Found In True Light ) Note_ Written this morn, born from a soup-mail conversation here with a dear friend.

Beautiful ending here, "We may again paint with a joyous brush!" Life is manifested by each of us; to paint with joy is often a challenge, but we will have it again and again; still it's there, the joy.

Given that without the darkness, we cannot see the light; beautiful lines, well thought out Robert. When that light comes, it is oh, so sweet.

Matthew 7:13-14 { 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.} Faith is a gift from God and his son Christ is the only way. I loved how you closed this poem - awesome.

Thank you my friend. Your comment is truly appreciated. Even my positive poems are ignored. Such indicates something that bodes ill for poetry in general methinks. But a poet either has integrity or else that poet does not, imho... Four poets have spoke that have... God bless..
