Suffer Little Children

The yolk simmers a large golden spread far as eye can take The heat piercing through dots the lavish paint with tiny red wounds The ragged yellow-brown greasy lace curtain hugs the ashen wall A child is waiting the outsides interlope-in sounds,smells,sweet'n sour In haze within fleeting shades swirl on a weary-go-round Eternity ticks on... he's a willing puppy after one fatty bone! The canvas lifts and in the russet dungeon a sudden growing glow A glimmering amber force striding down stone steps and then...he's free! To a universe pink and green silken air, velvety earth riding on a rising cloud The light appearing in swaddling white urges him on... Jubilant, wondering he takes a doubting step but he falters, then falls...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
