A Bruised Reed He Shall Not Break, And A Smoldering Wick He Shall Not Quench, Poem by RIC BASTASA

A Bruised Reed He Shall Not Break, And A Smoldering Wick He Shall Not Quench,

Rating: 2.8


reflection
upon the clear pond of the mind
at dawn

someone so gentle
meek
renders justice upon
the earth
all the trees and wind
bow

he comes without a kill
no devastation as a flood
or fire
no nuclear leaks
no quakes

he does not shut off
the light
neither grass or
weed
he shall not remove
burn

he is a word
but he will last forever
he is eternity
he dies but death has not
conquered him
