He waited there in
the blistering cold,
As he saw life’s
fragile textures unfold.
Where the voices in his head grew louder and
louder
Could it not be? He
was without bother.
On this long,
soulless journey he had to ask, “Was the right path taken?”
For many have forged
their way to a path they had soon mistaken.
Was it their faith
that drove them there?
Was it belief?
Or
Was it the something
as profound, yet fallible and unruly as their animalistic urges to simply
survive their grief?
A saint is not
without darkness,
And a sinner not
without hope.
Then why is it that
we’re tempted to such a miscreant slope?
To believe in Good,
we must believe in evil,
To know of Heaven, we
hear of Hellish upheaval.
To walk a path that
leads in hope of somewhere,
Only to end up
trudging on a trail of our worst nightmare.
We know of man, who’s
lithe and weak when alive,
but is stiff and cold
when death thrives.
At times, moments
seem like centuries
And years seem mere
fragments of a second,
Too much for his
taste he had finally reckoned.
His bouncing finger is
what told him he was alive,
For a few more
seconds he only wanted to survive
He heard the roars “the
war is over, we’re free”
And at that very
moment he felt Knightly.
He did what any
soldier would’ve done who was misguided,
And just as he came,
he left un-abided.
Before darkness
covered his guise
He whispered with his
last sighs
Revelation 21:4 ~ “And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
cries”.
