[hometext] => This poem was pieced together over the course of several weeks. I would continue writing as more images would form.
[bodytext] => People walk in rows..... Side by side with silent julilee.... It's a gathering of faith; a gathering of praise Not a sound is heard....no murmurs from the crowd The same tune is sung inwardly with no words; with no hum The dress of everyone is the same, uniformed to perfection, all eyes glazed from a long journey seeking salvation; utmost praise It's a destination worthy, and an assembly of others worth knowing Frozen...paralyzed...disembodied They line up waiting to be exculpated; redeemed The formation is assembled as all eyes lift northward; all hands point skywards; without knowing all minds turn backwards Words begin to flow forward as hearts begin to turn colder The mass of people begin speaking the words that scold children and their potential laughter We said lord that we would not be shaken, and no man would falter.... You have shown little mercy, and grace is not an option.... Forgive us lord, for our precious tongues are through with rejoicing We come for restitution, and feel we deserve no retribution So hear us out, oh lord, as we make our final contribution We are done god; from us there will be no begging So we say our farewell, on earth as far as it is from heaven [comments] => 0 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 13 [informant] => storyteller [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
