WRITING OBSTACLE
Submitted by Bernard Wicks
Write a poem or story that reads as if it is beautiful, but is actually about something rather tragic.
For example, you might write about a beautiful sunset in an apocalyptic world, or a poem about the good things about heartbreak.
Chapter 23
To Us
Whence the heavens,
rolled back as parchment,
scrolls of all we’ve known,
are stowed away,
shown then wilt be
softly lights far fiercer
than man watching dawn
by distance of mere breath,
so too shalt the earth dance
with sway of calm lovers
and to music of stones who
shalt sing, “Glory!” and stir,
to lift above the ground,
joined to the sea, golden
and garmented with brilliant jewels
rising up to the mountains bowed,
stooped and humbled,
with stopped mouths,
then shall all low things soar
and make right ground
for Him to step down
to us
