POEM: The Storm’s Rainbow

The Storm’s Rainbow

Poem by Eric Gajewski 
From the work “Fortress of the Soul”

Osee (Hosea) 2:20
And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

 Here is my latest poem from the work "Fortress of the Soul".  

I hope you all enjoy and share it, Ave Maria!

Press play and listen to the song as you read the poem

The Storm’s Rainbow

Slipping into error’s bad dream

The lids of the eyes of men seemingly sown shut

Paralyzed, amidst his own hidden cries

Which now arise to the surface

These tears of tribulation fall eagerly to his bed side

Men of once renown, now weighed down with hearts of stone

Alone, he exclaims out loud but no one listens

For the others art likewise too busy

In this land wherest the “men of self” roam

Giving shape to these shadows

Giving Rise to the Winds of this poem

Crying new rivers in which they themselves drown

Bound, by invisible chains, all goes without sound

For here there is no freedom

Here it is not about “who you are”… for all walk nameless

For no one knows the depth of the pain of these souls

With hearts frozen over amidst self’s cold

Because they did not care for the others affairs

And so, off, they forever fade, into the distance

With death’s “icy endless stare”

And so I have been told…

That no one comes back from this state of “old”

No one tests this night without first questioning

The path he walks or the choice of his own road

No one sleeps in peace as a sheep outside of this One Catholic fold

For these have not learnt the science of the Saints

Having taken the world’s bait and fallen into the devil’s hole

BUT for those of Faith, WE HOLD

We, who like a Tree, remain planted

And firmly embrace in grace amidst Life’s Storms

We, who, once too “danced with despair”

We, who, now know we are not alone

For only Faith survives the Night

As Hope comes upon the “morning eyes” awakening

Arising With her Light….

And Upon these Pure Clouds

Usher in the Storm’s vibrant Rainbow...
