The Elements Call Inviting Poem by Myrtle Thomas

The Elements Call Inviting

Your eyes cut through me
burnish me like a branding iron
turn my heart inside out
and whip me with chastisement
cut and dissect a piece of clay such as I

Yet I fear you, not in the way of a stranger
but respect you as royalty
you turn my feet to a different direction
as I drift like the wind slowly billowing

The other side calls me, tempting sweetly
to come the way of the dead
enchanting ever delighting with cold promises
that I see through
' Hush The Voices That Call 'they seem as
an endearing enchantment
like wind chimes calmly singing
as the battle brews intently warring for my soul

I like a twig of wood seem broken, yet I bend
at the thought of you
the world is a bad dream as I slumber in the dark

You stand by my side as a parent
the guardian of my soul!
you in love do hold me as a father as you teach me your ways
while the world shatters and falls
my feet stand even yet on the soil of your enemy
and the earth crumbles and shakes

Quell the struggle that begs and pleads
inside of mind and heart

For the very earth shakes and quakes for the end of Satan's domain.
Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
for he who is evil was cast down on the earth.
