"Song of Paean: A Cherub Victory"
A million words in my mind
Yet can't find the title for this chapter
A million words in my mind, for this chapter.
But eclipsing the rest, is Gratitude.
On, I'm looking, sorting through the million words.
And there they are, these too stick out a mile:
Grace, Miracles, Abundance, Light,
Love, Purpose, Divinity, Ethereality...
Seeing all these words from the millions of them,
I see Beauty.
Ethereal Beauty, embedded in piety.
But I wouldn't see them, save for Patience.
And, save for the voice within,
Saying, "you'll see all needing to be seen, with Patience"...
And as I see these words, with Patience.
I see my mind's eye: "the force".
In my mind's eyes, I see Victory.
Here comes the voice within
Saying, "Oh cherub, the force has been with you".
And, to my mouth comes songs of Victory.
No prize set, yet in my arms lies the laurels.
Embedded in my heart is Light
Still, a million words in my mind.
Yet can't find the title for this chapter
But with my heart and mouth I chant my paean, to "the greater force".
Here goes my song of paean
Wafting to the pearly gates, like sweet incense.
Here comes the voice within:
"Oh cherub may the light in your heart today be forever"
"May the greater force remain with you"
"Darling dearest, remain true-blue in Patience."
"Thusly, piety finds you.
Bearing for you a million more words, and titles".
"There goes the title of your chapter this day"
"Oh cherub there goes your song of paean; victory!".
I have a new song! Old but gold.
About this poem
"Song of Paean: A Cherub Victory" is an inspirational poem inspired by true events. It is another dear one to me, why yes, it was my heaven-sent rainbow, warm embrace and ray of hope; in what was a dark period for me. It is a poem that will remain ever gold, as it will get me, likewise the readers through many a dark period; as life is never a bed of roses, but a park full of the good, the bad and the ugly. I wrote it on the eve of my birthday, the days leading to that moment had been dreary and seemingly hopeless. Even though my birthday was fast approaching, I still couldn't find reason to be joyful or celebratory. I began looking at my old pictures, and they brought to me memories of what my life journey has been (a beautiful chaos); no sooner did I went down memory lane, tears of joy and gratitude began flowing. With this burst of emotion came the birth of "Song of Paean: A Cherub Victory". more »
