Notes About The Poem

Stand With a Face of Humility

STAND WITH A FACE OF HUMILITY

Thou curse a great angel to fall 
from the heavens of glory and power,
though let man build towers for himself alone
letting him gaze on earth down.
Daggers are unknown but 
they are directed to oneself
piercing six-inches deep in the heart
though made unreachacble stars of ruthless dreams,
there bete noire, implacable enemies abounds ,
occurring impossibilities cause bitter torments
art a fortress a defense for nothing, nothing?!

A sneering wall for a human being
the lowly thou had trodden down
 callused feet has stepped upon.
The anon ignorant void of wisdom infuse a poison
drops dripping from temptuous cup
of sweet assurance, of self-ambition and arrogance.

A pedestal thou arts  amidst life's superficial ways
a courage to lift up a haughty face
the narrow rocky roads thou dwell is full of blooms
but will the ends refrain from drowning doom?
Poor man thou hast enslaved
in thy ruthless breaking embrace
secured within thoughts of highness
knowing not where he will stay.

Above, may he think and look unto the ground,
a place of fifth to step upon
for alas he has partaken from thy cup,
so now he's done.
Thou made a distance so near
yet to very far, unreachable.

A human never a god
harsh and vicious
are the gigantic trials knocking him down
Imposing.Intimidating.Haunting. Freezing 
but must they be?
Must they be or should he rather
open his eyes and flee 
to the flying flicks of times?

Crepuscular are the cascading days
but always they pass epiphanies.
A heart of stone melts but 
from it births the human heart
who is able to choose paths which lead them
to face the world not with pride
but with humility...

Kp Nunez August 1, 2015 at 11:35 PM I like your subject Olive - stand up but be humble. Pride has always been man's weakness, we have all been guilty of it. It is therefore a worthy endeavor to keep ourselves in check. Thank you for sharing this. hugs.

Andrea Dietrich August 1, 2015 at 9:51 PM Olive, this reminds me of Psalms. Such a spiritual poem. That last verse is simply outstanding. I always loved the use of the word Crepuscular in a poem. Is that one of the new words you were telling me about that you like to incorporate into your work? I know it was a new word for me when I first used it in a poem! Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser August 3, 2015 at 4:01 AM Thank you so much Andie... I'm glad that you did take it as how I want it to be..... I was actually inspired by one of our devotions.. yes that's new word for me and among other wors.. =')!hehehe thanks!
