~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. by W.K Blackburn all rights owned by the author |
