Worship

Worship

A Poem by Peggy Olson

There she goes
a hallowed teardrop hiding in darkened snow
I've seen it all before
Those hands are gold
hands numb and cold

The damned rise from the floor
broken souls to worship the light that she owns,
oceans of blood 
scarified in her name

Livened with a pulse this worship is release
those souls are broke, damned, the hearts of forgotten men
live in time
...
Falling in vain the price to pay for hope
those whispers breaking through echo in the morn
...
Mistress of the fallen
mistress of the damned
visions in the lake
they'll go falling in
for a taste
 of salvation or grace

Wow this is so good! Love the emotions. I really enjoyed your last stanza "Of salvation or grace" very poetic in their own words. Very well written.

Thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
This reminds me of how we sometimes follow blindly and the places we are led to are not where we want to be.
