John Freeman Poet Rhyme

Souls and Sacred Hearts

Timely sifting, sets slowly drifting
lofty apart, aloof of sort
as lost ships, in tidal dips 
as ocean attests, perils at best
sortie Est, sortie Quest

Through a remembered gate, serpent’s dream abates
love’s reasoning renewed, ego’s reasoning eschew
 the garden that parts, by two reasonings sorts   
the soul of flesh, from sacred heart in stash
begin again, O man of sin

stored wisdom is cash, of heaven’s stash
 wisdom of counterfeit, as though a serpent’s ego spit
 unleavened reasoning vs the reasoning with seasoning,
the cost not less than all, the serpent’s gall...
the ego spit, that caused the split 

A soul becomes gold, by his protocol bold
a soul is made bold, of the sacred mold
timely sifting, ends all drifting
   through remembered gate, love’s will abates
ego’s oblations, of satanic orientations
Selah
Inspired by TS Eliot poem “The Remembered Gate”

Diane Christian June 24, 2015 at 2:02 AM Lovely write, a soul becomes gold, a soul made bold how uplifting, I have been made even more bold than before, I have taken my lyric poems and actually sang them and put them on you tube also reading dome poetry out aloud on my you tube channel, had over a 100 views and even have 3 subscriber's, God is definitely doing good.
