STAND WITH A FACE OF HUMILITY Thou curse a great angel to fall from the heavens of glory and power, though let man build towers for himself alone letting him gaze on earth down. Daggers are unknown but they are directed to oneself piercing six-inches deep in the heart though made unreachacble stars of ruthless dreams, there bete noire, implacable enemies abounds , occurring impossibilities cause bitter torments art a fortress a defense for nothing, nothing?! A sneering wall for a human being the lowly thou had trodden down callused feet has stepped upon. The anon ignorant void of wisdom infuse a poison drops dripping from temptuous cup of sweet assurance, of self-ambition and arrogance. A pedestal thou arts amidst life's superficial ways a courage to lift up a haughty face the narrow rocky roads thou dwell is full of blooms but will the ends refrain from drowning doom? Poor man thou hast enslaved in thy ruthless breaking embrace secured within thoughts of highness knowing not where he will stay. Above, may he think and look unto the ground, a place of fifth to step upon for alas he has partaken from thy cup, so now he's done. Thou made a distance so near yet to very far, unreachable. A human never a god harsh and vicious are the gigantic trials knocking him down Imposing.Intimidating.Haunting. Freezing but must they be? Must they be or should he rather open his eyes and flee to the flying flicks of times? Crepuscular are the cascading days but always they pass epiphanies. A heart of stone melts but from it births the human heart who is able to choose paths which lead them to face the world not with pride but with humility... __________________________________________ Sponsor Name: Broken Wings Contest Name: Any poem trashed in a recent contest ~~6th Place~~ Olive Eloisa Guillermo 12:38 pm.

I like your subject Olive - stand up but be humble. Pride has always been man's weakness, we have all been guilty of it. It is therefore a worthy endeavor to keep ourselves in check. Thank you for sharing this. hugs. Kim

Olive, this reminds me of Psalms. Such a spiritual poem. That last verse is simply outstanding. I always loved the use of the word Crepuscular in a poem. Is that one of the new words you were telling me about that you like to incorporate into your work? I know it was a new word for me when I first used it in a poem!

James, I take into mind what Charlotte note is... I really don't know at first what theme I shall write on.. and like what I said on our phonetalks that I've been wantingto change most of my themes... I really am not sure if I did it well regarding my theme but then again I just write and write when the thoughts came...
