Poem, "The Devil's Pawn"



“The Devil’s Pawn”
By: Eric Gajewski
From the work, "Fortress of the Soul"

Please enjoy my latest poem. Let us be reminded that it is Christ who frees but only when we first exercise our Faith to believe.


Please play the video below then proceed to listen to the song wilst reading the poem 

I danced delightfully alongside the devil with crooked smile
But could never hear hell’s song
I ate at the table of fornication yet never filled all the while
For I hadst been away from Thee for so long
Hell’s hole was deep by Thy Heart’s hole gushed out endless mercy
I was deceived by greed because only Thy Sacred Heart frees
Only therein wouldst I find a Giver, a soul’s true liberty
Yea, this River, now is wherest my heart alone is drawn
I didst not know fully, this Fortress, O’ how deep!
For my heart rather made refuge in passing years in the “lands of wrong”
I journeyed burdened by possession with heavy feet stumbling
Forgetting that only thy grace would makest my legs strong
I sank deep quickening in the seductive sands of sin
Till I lost everything but “without”, all wast still not gone
I saw the fading of a man, I saw the dark overcoming
And yet I still prayed for my heart’s new dawn
I clawed and scratched until grabbing thy gentle Hand
That extended new life, a new beginning
And like a red rose I arose out of the dirt of this life’s lawn
Yea, I am now the Eagle of the New Eve
A soldier confirmed whose training wast learned
On the Isle of silence & solitude like Saint John
Away from this world far above the sea
Within contemplating and seeing only Thee, I am withdrawn
In hope, no more to be self’s puppet            
In Faith, no more to be the devil’s pawn...
