~~~ Leaven ~~~ Poems

The spring flower is saddened at the season’s end.
For none had thought to stop and smell her.

The breath of life, sparsely remembered still causes the hearts of all to beat
...

Chirp little bird, chirp,
Awake the misty morning
For his daily chore.
...

The Light.
The chosen Son,
Cleanses our bloodstained robes,
To purify our hearts before God.
...

O wretched me,
My flesh is but a stink
And my carcass clothing an abomination.
...

As men in white robes walk upon the dusty ground,
They take upon themselves the sins of earth.
Ripened in iniquity, their robes once sheen,
Are soiled by their trodding.
...

Such is Faith…

Confirmed within oneself
A testimony of those noble dreams;
...

Unto his sheep
The Lord is a Loving Shepard,
Who doth watch over his Flock
With patience kind
...

Become ye not members of dread;
Those droplets of dark rain,
That shall scourge the land
And, water forgotten seeds of strife.
...

O my children gather ye together
And rest ye upon the mount.

Find ye the land where my lady
...

Submerge thy hands
And cleanse thy palms
Of sinful deeds,
...
