Table of the Scribed

Table of The Scribed 

Only of the true muse in mind,
Being a he or she? 
Can scribe of the darknesses they feel, 
Being it told, indeed. 

Being this breed of spirits, 
Sitting at the Abysses table, take heed!

For that's the table of the;
Devils and Gods, 
We are the tellers; 
For we are the scribes. 

Take up thy quill; 
Quick hurry, 
Put it in your hand? 

Write down the scribes of; 
Phraseology, terminology,
They're many forms in their styles!

Am I sure they will understand?

I am learning all the while;
Understand these words
Even the symbolic, 
Are they written too absurd?

Constance! Thank you, just one of those that will probably end up revised again, I'm sure. Haha. Yeah, that, and I like, "we are the tellers, we are the scribes." That's why I'm sure it will be revised again; thanks again, too. Smh Best of Wishes, William
