~Each His Own Reward~

Engaged in reason's velvet bib
Aged and seasoned estuary light
Where from LOVE's very rib
Taken to a new height
Adorned with laurel rings
Crowned by untouchable gems
Aching new born wings
Wherefore HOPE itself stems
the Lord's hearty glow
Beaming forth a river true
An aura no earthly eye can know
A bounty no treasure could ensue
The lake of still waters dance
In circles of secrets revealed
Gardens opened in celestial decadance
The very heart goes unconcealed
Preening peacocks parade
Round the fountain's flow
Rainbows splintered and sprayed
Into an inconceivable laser show
Moonless and sun free
The garden still engulfed in light
Every glistening glittered tree
Open limbed in each other's sight
Paths of paupers upon the earth
know not the value of weighty gold
For thier riches and worth
come from not having a soul sold
though here in this desolation
They seem the smallest among men
But in JAH's grand new nation
They elate and ascend.
