What Say You Poem by Courage Ghandih

What Say You

Rating: 5.0


Know this as the sand shifts thru the hourglass of time
That we r great luminaries that outshine the sun, moon n stars combine
Our Glory is born with the total renewal of the Mind
By that eternal fire within, that carnal eyes can't find
We all pure spirits that's trapped in this 'cage' called flesh
Weighed down by lustful desires but in the saviors stripes forgiven and born afresh
This day has mercy found in our dying bodies a dwelling place
This day Grace has gone before us leading the pace
There's redemption not only for the elite in suites and ties
But also for the many like you and I
Rejoice with me this moment in the wonderful knowledge of the true Christ

Know this, as days turns into nights and night turns into days
That infinite is outer space, yet nothing compares in greatness to the human race
Chains shackle wrists
Sins battle wits
Wind topples things, bringing birth newness in seasons
The living passes on as legends, perhaps alas they reconcile with their essence
All memories of the present are lost in transition and yesterday becomes a myth
The sun rises not
Ambitions spirals back to naught
Darkness becomes almost tangible when the soul sheds earthly garments and enters into the realms of the invisible
On the other side, The Light beckons them that obeyed when life was gay
Be not dismayed children of the day
Grace remains till the silver chord breaks
Find meaning behind these lines cus where you stand is like a land mine
Your survival depends on where you step
Cherish today for tomorrow you may not awake where you slept.

Wonderful wonderful words, Courage! And with a purposeful flow like a river that knows where it is going. Read it twice... just for the pleasure of it!

There is a recurring message in all your poems...man is but clay and mortal...there is a higher and better day for the redemption of man....if only man would give himself off and allow the higher powers to free him. You do well! Your poems should be out there.

True Aj...there's a brighter day after this this dark n cold night. Primitive Clay must stay awake till that blessed dawn when the light is born. Thanks for reading Abena. Thanks.

I say you are the poet everyone should be watching out for! I call this beautiful like the moon fading away to allow the sun to take over. This is on point! i like the the first line-Know this as the sand shifts through the hour glass of time...I like that it brings out the confidence with which you write and the certainty of the words put together in the subsequent lines. Five stars! ! !
