Pondering
- Pondering -
In pondering on our mortality, I realize where I’ve been,
And oft I believe I’m wandering, to pay for some old sin.
I’ve walked beneath the banner of the gilded cross I knew,
And sat a rose upon the stones, when such tribute was due.
I know that soon shall come the time others have feared…
But I shall remain steadfast, until Heaven’s gate is neared!
I held the Grail within my palms, but then she did ascend,
Before I could solve her mystery, which never had an end.
Mine eyes have glimpsed the cosmic, much to my dismay,
For even in such splendor is the desire for a simpler day…
When men walked stronger in stature, humble yet proud,
And women had such a dignity that today is not allowed!
Less we are that what we could be, if we heeded the spark,
Wherein reposes our divinity, to which we all should hark!
Love unchained, ever limitless, with no dictates to restrain,
The passions waiting, to explode: to take away every pain.
No son of man was so holy that his humanity became less,
And therein lies the lesson we should learn and so confess.
I am not a prophet, just one old soul in still youthful flesh,
One who has walked many paths, and walked them afresh.
Palaces and castles, empires and kingdoms that did crawl…
Forth from their obscurity, they climbed high, only to fall.
But humanity is not a nation, nor the powers that oft rule…
Mankind is a seed of divinity, and the gardener is no fool.
Wonder not when nature rises and when civilizations sink,
Marvel instead at the miracles that occur to make us think!
Can you draw a map of the universe, and know every star?
No mortal can know the distance, whether it is near or far.
A kiss be easier to understand, and gives a tender reward…
Such a treasure as cannot be won, by wits or by the sword!
A flower is better to hold in your hand, or in hair crowned,
Than a book of every secret buried far beneath the ground.
A pretty girl, a sunny sky, a reason to live rather than die…
Such fairness as can make us sigh, why do we so oft deny?
Ponder this and become wise, for in my words are truths…
Grander by far than the domes that oft adorn temple roofs!
Love and Light!

I already knew who wrote this even before I finished reading and see the author. The rhyming verses and poetic structure is so Kou_Indigo, nobody else but her poetic genius can weave such lines!

Why thank you for not only taking the time to read my poem, but also for leaving such a beautiful comment too! I very much appreciate it and am quite humbled by such lofty praise, which meant a lot to me. :D
