My True Self's Resplendent Re-Presentation Poem by Maurice Harris

Tattered remnants remain of a life, once so very blessed-
Fractured aspirations only-of the life I once possessed;
I have known too much heartbreak to explicate with mere word-
My lamentation's echo-the most thunderous bellow I've ever heard!

I stand not before thee with hope of pity for my poignant grief,
Should I want at all, it's only for my grieving heart's long-sought relief!
I have sought even His most gracious consult many, many a time-
My Father: 'How might a man ever become for this lacking, prime? '

I have searched for solace and a life, again, most beauteous-
To this and what may come of it, I remain steadfast and duteous!
An epiphanous enlightenment, an inestimable, empyreal rediscovery-
Their duality, married one day as a unity, essential for my recovery!
An expedited odyssey perhaps, yet still-always my true destination-
With bated breath, I await my true self's resplendent re-presentation!
