once upon a glory

once upon a glory

A Poem by Abd-afeez
"

life is a vast experience. I hope you know that?

"
The night of darkness and thunder
blasts,

as numerous chilly tears drop from the
sky,

lulling me in nutri-fluid heard a call.

A chance that is a life time one.
My time to take a look at the world.

Soft wails and joyful yells,

are the first to reach my ears,

a story told by nature i translate

not yet because i understand not,

nature's voice was too soft
for my nacent ears to assume salient,

mothers hold was what i longed.

Lullaby rains but not just at night.

Mother's love always by my side.

My shifty eyes only just see,

only you, her and just me.
Less i know thousands lies hidden.

Life just rock with keeping secrets,

lurking in crevices are devilish freaks.

I do them no evil but they wish me
peril,

am the fire in their windy mist.
I need much strength to get to live.

Overly shadows sent to whisper,

a threat to my twitching ears,

The shawl of servitude they hang

around my neck is still there.

Dreams starts to live but in a dead world,

the shattered one enemies placed me.

A way forward god did show me.

Its a reckoning to shut transgressor up,

let their transient silence give me

a nudge to those stepping stones into the

future.

I left behind chaos what do i face?

An expanse of haggard interface.

Life do never lack a way

to relinquish evil with another evil.
Do gooders always face those evils,

but their faith is a promise of hope.

Its voice reaching the depth of their
soul.

They will never rest untill

success stories are definately told.
So i forged my path
through those expanse,

i waver my way through life
wickedness.

In god's grace i raced to that place,

that place i see never before,
the alien existence everybody crave.

The place to sing the victory song.

Where i am now is really a tale,

to tell the world that sums wreckage.

Of a destiny thats clearly above them.

Wanting or not of them,
destiny will have its ways.

Gruesome out pours by soulless one.

Conundrum they set

but know the answer not.

Juxtapositioned are evil and good on
earth.
Find your way through one into the
future.

Once upon a time a glory was born.

That was me,

a gift for us,

now i've achieved,
its a victory song

just for us.

Wow. That was some complex poem. The imagery made me feel so many things. Very nice , although I have a feeling I will need to read this many times over to understand it completely. :)
A beautiful piece. :)
