St John Paul ll

gently we measured
our compassionate realm
I was takened by the mental storm 
of quiet gestures beckoning

the calm bayous the sinking earth
of hanging moss craving darkness 
while seeking lights inner most hues
catered to the wild eyes of daintiness
 
and empty sorrows kindered between 
a bias immortal sphere within thee eternal
wrath folded beyond di Vaticans core
beneath the rubble of solid structures

formed from masses of rotting flesh
and the bindery of soiled stained 
souls of cold shattered existances
beyond the robe an awakening era

permitted silence among 
the sheepcotes again
through a weakened weariness
reaching clawing clinging to a timeless cradle 

a quickening naught of emptied virtue
while death had resided in me
underneath a slab of raw gravel 
upon the holy see
