A
Soul Struck
Before your work
is begun,
consider growing
thoughts,
calm and reasoned,
using uncluttered
pages of a text
written about
extraordinarily benevolent characters,
penned
vignettes
typifying what
will later transpire
for the good of
all.
Let satisfied
visual senses
absorb the bright
as a prism does,
embracing a
boldness of color,
like a fountain of
light
erupting from dull
to pure green.
Compose canorous
song
with its best
repetitions revealed.
Build your
colossus with solid stones.
Restore ancient
temples to resplendent glory
that shines forth
with radiant energy.
We’ll see, with
upturned eyes,
upon so lofty a
plane,
tall edifices with
turrets of divine love,
housing the souls
of the just,
and those who live
under a flag of peace.
Your work ends
there.
