The Apocalypse--A Revelation ... Chapter Forty-One (first draft)
https://allpoetry.com/poem/13641971-The-Apocalypse--A-Revelation-...-Chapter-Forty--first-draft--by-Lucretia-Mccloud
Kim sent Sabrina home in the morning to try to sleep
while she finished her shift. Her workload unfortunately
in spilled blood steeped deep. While Wayne's condition secret
she promised herself from Sabrina to keep until strong enough
she Sabrina this hurtle to leap.
Sabrina felt somehow that Kim wasn't confiding.
That Wayne's situation must be grave.
Kim's love for Sabrina concealing. Finding out true facts...
no not from Kim to be revealing
so as to protect Sabrina's heart from tragically dividing
like a rupture suddenly from darkened skies
striking
lightning
carving, crashing,
hollowed out a cavern
in rising rivers thrashing
as thunder drowns out all wails and cries
though echoing between gaps spread wide,
dividing mere humans from bridging in love
since walls are thought too high or slippery
for bone weary whose aching fingers curled or frozen
do not grasp
these tasks horrendous
with crumbling to no footholds
small or large provided
to aid in a fast or steady enough climb \
before totally lost in confusion
a once stable sound mind.
Why Sabrina wrote
five years ago today
words to help heal
to again bind wounds
with promises divine.
Words Kim searched for when her husband died
to her remind. Although, Sabrina felt death's sting too,
hopefully she not too soon
these words for herself again renew
though lately Sabrina shuffled about
as if going blind:
For These I Weep
While
My Precious,
My Beautiful One
SLEEPS,
Shrouded
In Such Blueness,
Azure
Blueness
Of Sky;
Of Sea,
For Me?....
I Weep.
*
In Memory,
My morning?
Apples; Oranges; Watermelon—
A Rainbow!
Bountiful Fruitage Delicious!
Till....
Past FRUITS SPEWED VIBRANT and VIOLENT
In Bow!
BURST
Forth
My Bounty
Over
The bow!
A Sea SO Fierce—
Terrifying!!!
Through Black Moonless Night
ENDLESS
I Weep.
*
While
My Precious,
My Beautiful One
SLEEPS,
Shrouded
In Such Blueness,
Azure
Blueness
Of Sky;
Of Sea,
For Me?....
I KNEEL.
*
Before
The Window Veiled
Shadows, Whispers, Sighing—
My world.
My life?
Limp; Listless like
Tropical curse....
Sprue?
Till....
Past PROMISES, PROCLAIMED—
Even
Reclaimed
Bubbles and Bowl me
Over!
In Joy!
BUOYS
Forth
My Heart;
OVERJOYED!
A Light, SO Bright—
Frightening!!!
Through Black
Moonless Night
ENDING?
I Weep.
Yes!
For THESE
I Weep.
(Based on Lamentations chapter 3; Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Acts 24:15 and Mark 5:35-43)
