Andrew Crisci Poet Free verse

The Exact Embodiment of Lucifer

The crepuscular radiant sun rays
are being subdued by penumbra
to conceal their exuberant image
that still is seen in halcyon glory;
it vows the envious meadows draped in daisies
that are incapable of absorbing all of the opulent
shades of the sky emitting glares of fading radiance. 
  
Many desultory thoughts of an unapproved theory
viciously battle in the mind of the cynical,
who hears the sonorous song of the perched
grey thrushes which glorify God with notes;
nothing he sees is neither persuasive nor visceral.    

Why is Man so stubborn in his belief,
so tormented by feelings of jealousy
towards Him who gave everything
freely? He rejects His gift assuming
an appearance of invincibility,
a self-made image of divinity...
the exact embodiment of Lucifer.

Vladislav Raven March 23, 2016 at 4:26 PM Hi Andrew, a most intriguing piece you lay before us. Powerful, deep words placed so carefully on the page to tell a well crafted story. I was once taught that one can understand the meanings of words by seeing where they are interjected into a work and reading carefully what comes before said words. Now, this is an excellent piece, holding the attention from start to finish. This is so well written it deserves a seven my friend....Vlad.

Anthony Mark February 2, 2016 at 6:21 AM far too many big words ? , the flow is hampered, by the need to look them up,
