John Hauser Poet Didactic

Reformation

Black night,
         Await the solar charnel steeds,
         Await the noon,
         Await the blacker, richer dawn.
                 
         Pale heresy dispatched
         The light brings on
         Silver and subtle with deceits
         A day of error o'er a night of wrong.
                 
         Nor can the fainting heart resist
         The furtive promise of a Christian bliss
         And light's pale monuments uplift
         A pagan and a passionate kiss.

Frankii Fame December 20, 2020 at 2:06 PM I find that I enjoy the 2 didactic poems you have shared as I know we are in for sights to come on this earth. I say we aren't going to find ourselves willing to accept the new age foreseen.

Mahtab Bangalee April 28, 2019 at 5:34 AM beautiful poem penned Roxanne Dubarry October 21, 2019 at 6:27 PM I loved your beautiful and inspirational poetry.

Ovidiu Bocsa March 11, 2018 at 2:39 PM It is an amazing poetry telling me about fate and faith, love and hope justifying any religion and philosophy. It has some reverberations and feelings like a Passacaglia by Anton Webern. Well, the reader may find other additional wishful thinking to the original theme from the author proposal.

Robert Johnson February 28, 2018 at 11:17 AM Humanity's perpetuating journey of perplexity. Where love and lust live side by side. Awaiting natures comfort to help enjoy the ride. :) Love your style John. Great poem. Wonderful surrealistic euphemisms.
