The Lone Lion

The Lone Lion

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

The Lone Lion

 

Strength in His gait,

Certain in His ability.

Knowing His fate

To set captives free.

 

Striding with power,

His feet poised not to slip.

He knew the hour

When heaven’s curtain would rip.

 

Roaming the earth,

Seeking evil to devour.

Love nursed

When His ultimate love showered.

 

His glory could not be tamed,

Nor His will doused.

For His incredible fame

Could not be canceled out… but aroused!

 

The One and only

Lover of heaven and earth.

Come to set us free

As true love birthed.

 

His journey took Him far from Home,

An incorruptible “Zion”

Where He now hails from His Throne

As the lone Lion.

Plain... Cosmic for "Zion" But original. Nice poem to read. Keep going at it. These spiritual poems really make headlines.
