Death spots the field.
Covering a knight without his shield,
Coursing harsh, fearful shivers of cold
As a blunt blade pierces through his weary soul.
Faith heals
When an executioner steals,
The Love and Light of God.
All thanks to a king’s approving nod.
Human eyes
Totally consumed by the kill
Soon find death a thrill
And greatly get off on Death’s highs.
But Faith restores
The lost soul’s lost cause,
When it transfigures beautifully
A Soul searching for Love and Mercy.
Faith disproves as it transforms
All the beliefs of the world’s norms
That once a life is taken,
The Soul too will be forsaken.
For those who live in greatness or misery,
God will be their judge and jury;
Sending his Angel of Death to all,
Who wish to either gracefully rise or gracefully fall.
