inspired by the spirit,
spired skyscapes draw then
direct the eye, a line
drawn heavenward; diaphanous,
follow Falcon rocket plumes,
divider of the sky,
high above the steeple;
the Ruppell's griffon vulture
flies and chases,
its strength received is power
from on High.
to soar in flight
and fight through the heavy
cloud cover of noxious, riotous smoke
that would mask a clear purity
and keep us from
drawing near the height
of mercy and grace;
faces fixed, afflicted by
anxiety and abuse
now gentler, softer in appearance.
the bird's-eye, a tired cliche,
energetic drone-eye views:
a coastal crag and clear
blue waters below underlain
by shifting sand sifts swift in
current and constant motion,
relocation while reshaping
itself into newer, better
versions; dendriforms mightier where
wind buffets and the exposure
chisels and trains. strengthened and
battle ready the soldiers
of Christ advance, ground gained in
every era, then and now.
