With Each Chilling Step I Take

With Each Chilling Step I Take

A Poem by Joanna Maharis
"

With Each Chilling Step I Take

"
I am delivered by the hands of the deliverer
In these times of strife.
He holds my hand as we walk down the loving shores
And talk of the frothy tears that pour from my crystalline eyes.
I count the ways his voice soothes me with petals of roses and lilacs
Whose nectar seeps into my spongy skin to cleanse away the soot
Time has left upon my jagged soul.
Mystical is the sweet scent in the air that blankets
My shimmering nose.
I toy with the mountains so crass
And make an offering to my Lord who braces me
With each chilling step I take.
I am humble by this fallow act of kindness and nurturing.
For he is the one and only true light that burns inside of my
Eternal being so powerful that it overtakes me.
I can not convalesce the ways of the earth
That hold man to his word and deed.
But I can recognize the fragrance that dwells
Inside my corpse shell.

This is your best work to date... taking a stand against rules of society and the morals written by man by way of the bible to be who you are and not what they want you to be... that is what I take from this masterful piece.
