An Awesome Journey: Forged with Resolve

A philosophy poem about service to Our Lord and inhabiting the Earth - a metaphor poem.

A perennial sprouting,
Jettisoning the excess baggage
Of a healthful leaning;
Screens offer a meticulous recipe
Of convalescent convenience -
A particular medicine
For the elderly and burgeoning youth
In engaging in this wholesome wiliness.
Science taking a further,
Salient hold on the rocky heights
Of euphemism
And birthday-cake-like,
Paper plates.

Precipitation mixed with fertilizer,
The noon day sun,
And prominent seeding
Inculcate a demonstration
Of farming one’s fallow horizons;
Agriculture shall bleed indefinitely
Due to nature’s coarse,
Uninhabitable cloud cover;
As the seasonal aspirins
Of rain and regional direction
Of water supplies
Forego the near perfect
And iffy corrals
Of life-giving, habitual
Treasure chests…

Proof that excellence proceeds
From grit and unquenchable resolve,
And the edgeless fortunes
Patently laid at one’s
Champion-like, reserved,
And un-chippy doorstep…

That one may actually hold the door
Open with a wedge
To the speechless terror
Of this terracing
Of constructive and nascent,
Soulful and beautiful
Christmas carols…

Unencumbered
By the personable purviews
Of an excellent dirge…
