Resurrection chorused
With Reveille
But first the mini death
Taps to sleep
One third of time
Apostate to the living
Two thirds
A Requiem to slumber deep.

There’s a movement afoot,
Can you feel it?
A dawning, a heavenly herald,
A belief in the brotherhood
Of humanity.
It’s sweeping right over the world.
There’s an aura of great expectation,
Of light
To pour from above,
Like drowning
In oceans of wonder,
Suffused with unending love.
There’s a knowledge that’s
Patently pending,
Already it’s making its way
From nation to nation,
Through calm contemplation,
Simple souls inspired, come what may.
There’s a phoenix that’s forming
From ashes,
His wings are ready to fly,
Head raised aloft,
His tone one so soft
Recurring death his reason for why
There’s a waiting in anticipation,
Vast wings
To envelop and keep
All souls together,
To tackle whatever,
Arousing our spirits from sleep.
There’s a beacon that’s shed
From great lighthouse
Protecting all fleets from the reefs
Station the braces,
Let wind fill the main sail,
Make ready to fulfil beliefs.
A wee while ago there was a challenge to come up with a new form of poetry. Apparently, this counts. Alphabetise. Each letter of the alphabet used in sequence. This is my second attempt.
Arms bound,
Chained, distraught,
Emptying and
Forever guileless.
Helpless,
Injudiciously judged.
Kept low,
Morning into
Night obsolete.
Parched, now quenched,
Resurrected soul,
Torture undergone for
Victory won.
Exultant,
Yielding to zeal.
Decided to dance a little deeper in life, and wow can spirit dance!
Adventures to beguile you, worlds that will enchant you.
