Sustain Me

¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ The Humanity in deadly sleep 
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ Emanation, the Spectre and its ¦¦¦¦¦ Shadow.
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ the Past, Present and Future existing ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Before me. O Divine Spirit, sustain me ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦
That I may awake ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦
Like iron scourges ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ reasonings like vast serpents
¦¦¦¦¦¦ around my limbs, bruising my ¦¦¦¦¦¦ articulations.

I turn my eyes to ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ Europe
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ behold the Loom of Locke, ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦ as those in Eden, ¦¦¦¦¦¦
¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ ¦¦¦¦¦¦ in freedom ¦¦¦¦¦¦¦ in harmony and peace.


(Blackout of )

Alison A Smith Date: 8/27/2026 3:48:00 AM Miranda, this is a stunning example of blackout poetry! The visual fragmentation of the text perfectly mirrors the thematic struggle you've uncovered. I love how you contrasted the heavy, restrictive imagery of "iron scourges" and the "Loom of Locke" with the deep, spiritual yearning for "freedom in harmony and peace." You've carved out such profound, striking imagery from the source text. A truly captivating and thought-provoking piece!
