Who Crowned You King?

Who crowned You king of the land
Where innocence has feared to tread
Where angels and demons play tug of war
And i'm the rope stretched taut and thin

my head lies deep in the sand
i need You to speak in my stead
i now wish to merge my voice with Yours
And lift this thorny crown of sin

-------------------------------------------------

I speak but cannot shout
Translate to you my silent penchant
your blackest nightmares cannot hide
I hold you in the light of morning glow

If ever you're in doubt
Share with Me your dark intentions
Come sit by ancient fireside
And I will tell you all you need to know

"And I'm the rope stretched taut and thin" excellent end concept/wrap up. Yet, Yoni, I am not sure who you are speaking to..with the title? not the same person you are speaking to whom you offer solace in the morn? And, my goodness you certainly can not know all there is to know about transgression?..I think..you need to tie the message togther more clearly. The "voice" is unclear perhaps another verse? light & Love

Love the way you ask, "Who crowned you king of the land?" It really empowers the poem from the start and, boy, do you bring it home nicely, Yoni! As for Cayce, there is a center in Virginia Beach where his work is collected. It's called the Assoc. for Research & Enlightenment (A.R.E.). I was in contact with them while writing a novel about reincarnation. Good people. Love, Carolyn

There was a crescent moon in March. The moon learns not to rip the veil for every sky, but only on certain occasions, like October fall, to be full, open....because the moon has been hurt. It shows only a part of its face. And I love this poem, so emotional, raw, introspective. Best wishes, Sara
