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...
