The King S Dome

The King's Dome

  Hallowed be Love, the power, and truth, is king’s dome, 
  Provisions are invisible to worldly pace,
  Returned to the precept of multi grace, sons shan’t roam.  
 
  Love’s body of sons through world’s wilderness they comb.
  First light, the body emits by moral, God’s face,   
  Hallowed be Love, the power, and truth, is king’s dome. 

  Hollowed be the sons that return to their love’s home,
  To Son’s light from shadows of death, into love’s grace.
  Returned to the precept of multi grace, sons shan’t roam.  

  The body delivered from void of concept foams,
  To stillness simplicity, paranormal’s pace,
  Hallowed be Love, the power, and truth, is king’s dome. 

  Skies have no limit, the world is not one’s new home,
  The high-tech craze demonic in moral erase. 
  Returned to the precept of multi grace, sons shan’t roam.  

  Prior tower, love’s power, is the kingship’s home.
  Love is the power, truth it’s kingdom, Precept’s face.
  Hallowed be Love, the power, and truth, is king’s dome.
  Returned to the precept of multi grace, sons shan’t roam!

Wow, this is a really good poem! Powerful refrains! You did a magnificent job with this form. You should enter Randas new contest Romeo and Juliet...(only 2 forms to choose blank- prose). From the likes of this wonderful write, I think you would do an extraordinary job in blank verse!

Very uplifting message filled with hope, John. I often pray the "high-tech craze" does not destroy the values of our youth. They seem obsessed with war games. Best wishes in Catie's contest! Love, Carolyn
