In the morning I meet death Crisp breath night,before my end Stall first light to write you friend And tell that I love you. Lord hold the sun, give me this time To rhyme sweet memories of life Candled cake cut with knife I miss you my childhood. Poem show my heart felt emotion For the ocean N star riddled sky To God's creation I weep good-bye Thanks for filling my mind with wonder. Corners of the globe, I wish i've traveled Raveled myself in your mystery England, Spain and France I love your history To you my spirit will visit. Family steer clear from sorrow Morrow brings a dulled sting for in the morning I will sing In the choir of hosanna. For my days, were filled, not with passion Fashioned only with eros lust My time was spent with gust And the love of phileo and agape. The gust was not formed from vanity Sanity keeps my focused sight I will not deny the light! That others say is gone. Now lo he is with me till the end of the earth So this morning I shall be brave For on wooded cross he did save And proclaimed my self has worth. Though I wish my life had more deed Don't read this song as sadness I cry these tears with gladness and sorrow Turns me not to madness But to thoughts of you my loved ones.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem a while back after seeing the movie Glory. At the end of the movie theres a seen where all the men were praying the night before they were going to die because they were going into battle in the morning. I put myself in there place and I wrote the poem as if i were in the 54 massachusetts in the civil war.
