Seeking To Tie The Broken Chord....! Poem by MBJ Pancras

Where are they now surviving elsewhere?
Under one canopy things were shared: Skirmishes amongst siblings play hide and seek:
Despite parents' disgusting wars 'twixt them,
The seeds continued to grow though with thorns.
It was a seeming orchard expecting apples;
But the apples ran thro' thorny spikes.
Yet, the seven seeds grew 'midst bush,
For the parent tree blew not breeze upon them.
With their own breath the seven grew till age,
And the family bonding had no blood in their nerves.
Yet, it was a bitter sweetness in the seeds:
Might be the childhood age of dependence!

Alas! Seed after seed had its diverted root to sprout,
And the parent tree had no significant hold with the seeds.
Breath of bitterness traveled thro' their nostrils:
It looked a boneless body, its strength withered.

The birds flew away never to be reunited!
An undefined baseless reason twisted the unity:
Undaunted ego hath its rootless seat in them:
Derision at one another with hatred civilzed smeared their hearts.
The birds now are flying in the airless firmament:
Seeking temporal perches for a awhile; but no heart for true bond.
What hath made the birds part and survive with no destination?

The world says: Seek yours and yours only: break bonds:
Bonds are fetters with chains 'gainst freedom!
It's a herculean task to join a broken glass pieces!

Now, all the seven birds are under one umbrella of the sky:
Their profiles might flash 'cross them; but not their hearts.
Life on earth is once, and we shall see no more then:
Departure from this life hath no more bonds,
For individuals are responsible for Heaven or Hell:
And the choice is made during one's sojourn on earth.
Shall we read The Word and repent of our differences?
Shall we pass the world with honest smiles and joy?
Let's kill our ego and share Christ's Love amongst us!

Seeking the Lord's blessed interlude for Joy in HIM....
