Glory Days

This poem is an emotion, Time's-hand, had cast to land. 'Twas set, and sailed the oceans, While in it-stayed solemn;coping, Exists a never weathered stance... This ship has scores of secrets, From coffins steeped in mind. To help subdue those regrets, That came affront, on reject- Of peace, behind-awaiting deaths demise... Steady paced, it shan't be early- Not rushed by ebbing pensive waves. It's hoards of wisdom, hope to hurl thee- With knowledge bound securely, Through heavens golden gates... These words arose from darkness, From shadows-masked, that pranced. I believe that you all want this, Or maybe not?-regardless, Here-to gleam's, a sentries memory dance... From where did we all came from? What birthed our making mark? 'Twas from a spark pre-summoned; Stroked flint by futures wondering, Where were our flames-to see a fires start... Leafing down rays-of sun we found might, Now captured in days-all shadows we'd climb. Many pathways we made-each one of more strife, Was this our fate-puppets, shackled to time? Whence comes escape, from graves-into we dived? In one, as all-we walked, as the one-In all did walk, Muddled in confusion, we each-from one, took part. Guided by a hand undone-all formed a separate flock, Thinking now-we had all won, ships set sail to dock- Though we forgot in our rush, to give one back it's shards... A cross he gave-with sacrifice, that we may see our sin. By his grace, a master-wise, descended to our midst. All to take, his teachings-tried, shall see their evil cringe. Souls give shapes-cunning design, to test the infinite. Hearts remake-prisms divine, restoring him our image... Here we stand today- Broken through the haze, And I can truly say- These are the glory days...
