BLACK WALLING
I see your eyes glaze
Like a haze
Upon your vision
As I near
I can clearly hear
Derision
Malice would have me
Open wide and engage
Try to diffuse your rage
Against all that is pure
The resilience to endure
Every flip of the page
~In The Book~
In presence, I rise
Past all that would slay
Declare Vindication Day
I stand as the tide roars
All the weight of fear, trying to bore
Holes in the offerings I pray
....but this time
............this time.......I stay....grounded
Every adversary I meet
The black mirror greets
With grace to see
All the smudges of mud
Cows chewing the cud
And the sting of the bee
Rejected without value
Disgusting, gaunt, shallow
No depth to root
The part of growing
No beauty wants showing
Is the fertilizer that made the fruit
...golden...
