Thus Born, a Light, a Blessing of Inspiration
Thus Born, A Light, A Blessing Of Inspiration
And he from the mountaintop knelt to shout
To the magnificent creatures below
As if pouring Life-water from a spout
He in his sorrows cried in the snow,
O' God have this, thine sweet mercy on me
He that in his youth walked dead and blind
For now thy light hath set him free
Sending life, love, hope - clarity of mind.
Wherein truth and light are sent to prevail.
Those once chained- no longer need fear Hell.
Once a beast seeking dark ravenous meals
He that savored bad, the forbidden
Caring not for love, or how others feel
Built he walls to keep his sorrows hidden,
Allowing darkness all his joy to steal
Traversing twixt pale light and black of night
Ignoring those evil wounds love could heal
Never seeing the path cast by true light.
Wherein truth and light are sent to prevail.
Those once chained- no longer need fear Hell.
From the highest heavens, a voice then came
Sounding in true harmony and soft glee
I am the giver, creator- hear my name
Tis I that now speaks to the soul in thee,
Rise thee from that whitecapped mountain peak
Live again amongst life and mortal men
Accept these words, live not so lost and weak
Give due praise and thus walk thee true again.
Wherein truth and light are sent to prevail.
Those once chained- no longer need fear Hell.
Rising as the Sun its golden rays cast
He obeyed, starting his life anew
Knowing divine sent redemption must last
He praised life and the bright sky so blue,
With blessings of God and eternal light
Love entered his soul, his heart awoke
What was once such an impossible fight
Then became merely a cast off dark yoke.
Wherein truth and light are sent to prevail.
Those once chained- no longer need fear Hell.

Rhyme,
( Born from aching sky- a vision , a light- a blessing )
Dedicated to my friend- Greg Barden….
Note: This poem composed this morn was
inspired by my having read Greg Barden's
fine new poem titled----- ""Aching Sky""
to his magnificent rhyming creation--
I found inspiration to create this new piece.
As tribute to that which gave such inspiration,
and the God given blessing of poetry set within
this old soul's heart. -RJL
