“The Promised Seed”

— Posted inLiterature, Poetry, writing — 2 min read
Illustration of a surreal landscape view, across a river. The hilly banks on each side, team with flowers and vegetation that are speckled with mauve-orange light, as if the flowers had LEDs. Above, are dark, ominous skies littered with the same lights, and others that seem to be stars. On the horizon, over the nearshore, the skies are opening to reveal a brilliant yellow orange glow. The sky, and mountains below, have a cracked appearance in places, as if they're covered with rivers and lakes of molten lava. Above it all, the main focal point is a giant, illuminated heart, glowing with the same colors and lights projecting through the skies. The heart appears to be both beautiful, comforting and welcoming, while also seeming erie, unsettled and somewhat intimidating.

“The Promised Seed”

Implications… indications
burned into my mind.
The hand of caution twists a thorn
I once had in my side.
Yet my soul… even my soul,
has reached contentment for now.
Will it stay, or drift away
on the wings of the destiny, I’m sent.

The morning eyes of brilliant charm
compel me now to stay.
and I’ve no dreams to forewarn me
that I should run away.
Eternal eyes of depth, collecting even my soul.
It stays behind, yet I must go,
only to return again.

If you said you need me now,
deep inside I’d wonder how,
yet somehow… I’d believe.
For I am not a charming King,
and far outside the golden ring, yet
if I could, it would be
The Promised Seed

It would be a golden-flooded sunshine,
sparkling, blue sky summer day.
And when I knew what I’ve been told,
then I’d know it all was true,
I know I’d never go away.
Yet for now, I’m content
as my soul stays behind, softly with you.
That, I know is true.
