Temporal Faith Floats

WL Schuett

mysterious and lunar 

purged of all the 

benefits of magic .

she envoked 

the quiet ecstasy of 

mystical prayer .

 

a gentle feather lost 

in a tear drop .

temporal words 

walked her back from 

the edge.

 

bloodied by a thorn 

from a yellow rose . 

buried deep in the 

paltry light that 

silhouettes her hair . 

looking at the 

soft eye of dawn .

knowing how much 

I’ve surrendered,

forever bereft of 

the darkness .

 

I felt the melodies 

of faith 

and lost her at 

the renegade first light . 

 

so religious the fury 

of the extinction of hope 

beautifully expressed 

but slow to comprehend 

she handed me a bible . 

 

I stuggled forth into 

the artillery of knowledge 

listening to the dark 

matter of crucifixtion music . 

 

her story moves forward 

through the stream 

of time on thin ice . 

lost in the pale harmony 

of the grandeur of 

madness.

she believes she will sink 

into that ethereal stillness 

of dawn . 

I believe her soul will float .

    This is an amazing write! Just absolutely captivating! i read it a few times just to absorb it all. I agree with the ladies before me, the deepest line is the last, where it has such a impactful effect on the reader. Excellent job!

  • myself and me

    The float soul fly along the ray of the Moon,
    So tender, so light, so peace, so beautiful
    Assimilated into the nigh sky
    Turned into a star
    Shine for you
