Man is what


Mind is lost within her holding life in her fingers
A message like light fills mind-grasping environment (1)

Hers a flow of words falling from me left on a sea green
Ah it is wonder left on glory felt in bedroom love seen
Golden falcon clips sunshine memories in mooring glean
Enter witch-clasping souls for devil celebrations flame sheen
Count a maggot slipping past protected gate in brine fleeing
Kill candle and book before days strike in euphony seeing
Bass drops a note in organ bellows cross burning fast
Shadow lifts sun lost to visions kept in book closed last
Telling view sees likes of life passing death lots cast
Fate is a challenge to love left in hearts given at love mast (2)

Witch takes the last of the field Devil rejects her catch
Loosens cage made of silver hair turns her into fuel a flame (3)

Angels cry in valley of tears left leaking blood on a fire of souls
Tiger escapes forest of night wails in bewilder glee a blood go
Candle light a way in a river crossed to lack of life a death told
Dreary a trip in lots cast as souls begs and screams in endless pain
One drop of blood cools millions lost here wondering all in rain
Little lamb left on man to solve anvil and chain demon insane
Snake is head ground in heel used too late wrath is a final gain
Small is win for loss is beauty of a creation loved tossed aside
Cripple makes his bed in full view comfort is long ago cried
Silver falls to floor as wind takes the spirit to hell but never died (4)

Man calls out I would rather be a bird set free in heaven ‘s love
Too late a plea for sparrow is already taken above gray dove (5)

God’s voice this is my son with whom I am well pleased

(1) Garden lost earth battle zone of mental free will
Reference paradise lost & Inferno
(2) Weakness of human nature exploited life weighed
Blake and Percy
(3) Both sides seek elite for battle waged betrayed
Bible, Old testament, Poe, Dumas
(4) Power of creator requires a meeting of man's ritual
New testament, Blake & Milton
(5) God became man; man still confused seeking signs
religious documents many

He came into his own and his own knew him not. But this is a very powerful poem and written so well.
