Phosphoresce Parable
Purveyor of sustenance for the soul
Hunger, preceeded starvation’s latest toll
Linger not, for shadows shun the sun’s glare
While the ocean tosses, then regurgitates despair
Hunger, preceeded starvation’s latest toll
Full bellied satisfaction smiles within comfort's hold
Thoughts of fallible mind strewn about in disrepair
Truth seeks the light, whilst hope-filled followers stare
Linger not, for shadows shun the sun’s glare
People gather ‘round now a resurgence is near
Tablet’s of time of occurances aforementioned, retold
Gaze upon the mountain once ascended, sheltered, cold
While the ocean tosses, then regurgitates despair
A steadied ship ventures outwardly without fear
Seeing clearly once clouded eyes 'regains sight' of road
Strength returns to roost, relinquishing bartered possessions for a soul…
