Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Once Submerged Beneath the Dark, Accursed Sea

Once Submerged Beneath The Dark, Accursed Sea

Darkened winds beyond the long and hidden veil,
Rising sea its calm repose then casts away,
From some distance away, moaning church bell
Calling faithful and sinners, come lets pray
Tho' Fate with its power cries more in store
Here I stood, stoutly battling the unknown
With feeble words, I did each plea implore
For greater mercy and light to be shown.

Horrific dark power blasts heart and soul
Curse given out by death's repugnant hand
Raging waters swirl, bringing Fated toll
Painful cuts slash beauty of all the land
Fate with its power cries such shall be so
And mortals shall then fear my awesome wrath
At birth each is destined to soon go
Beyond the veil on a mystery path.

Although the defiant this end may cry
And with bravado seek to change that course
None, nary one Fated ending defy
Beyond the veil, all dreams flesh must divorce
Thus I stood, sword broken shield cast away
Mere flesh raging against eternity
Then the bell rang, sounding, come here to pray
For light and truth offers infinity.

Robert L. Hinshaw April 25, 2022 at 5:00 PM Another masterpiece, Robert! It kept me rapt to the end. I received your soup mail but I'm having problems responding to it. Soup has been running very slowly for me and sometimes not at all. Bob Robert Lindley April 25, 2022 at 5:58 PM Thank you, my friend. Nice to see that some get it. When one writes about -real life- and tragedy the verses have more impact to those that understand. World is dark, and only a well-lit path serves help during a raging storm of sorrow and heartache. God bless..

Regina Mcintosh April 25, 2022 at 10:57 AM Intriguing and powerful writing. Excellent. God bless you always. Love, Gina Robert Lindley April 25, 2022 at 6:01 PM Thank you, my friend. I did my best to convey a message that represents through the depths of sorrows, that hope and light can unite to give succor and save a drowning in darkness soul.. One ray of light magnifies into showing a saving path... Gd bless..
