Notes About The Poem

Where He Found Repose

He tried to cope, as they continually besmirch him
When he was thrown into the throes of their ways
His tears soaked his life, as he hoped to be sojourn
Then his heart barely beat, his breath now slower
He couldn’t escape the truth of all that was now lost
He lay beaten, until he saw the pinion of a celestial angel
Her lissome flight swept to him, lifted him, released him
Before his entry to firmament, where he found repose
