A Poet's Testament...

“A Poet's Testament” Reconceived

For when life's journey ends, I'll at last die;

     and won't be sad (for I'll be old and glad)

because I gave my very best reply

     to God by praising him though I went mad.

Now, I pray daily to be God's chos'n light.

     In spirit, with Him, I make communion:

light candles, burn incense, to spark the night;

     and call His presence to bless our union.

Pure, naked, unblemished, I know the Word.

     In inspired scripture, I'm joined with His flesh;

with verse, I wield His powerfully sharp Sword,

     to let the Waters of Life flow afresh

in measures and rhymes for this testament:

     The one I love, the King of Kings, the Rose 

(of this poem that inspires my sentiment)

     of Sharon from Song of Songs, whom I chose!
