The name of your cry

by F. K. Offin, Esq. (TheBold)

Clarity and vision

*1.* The sound of your tears,

The heartbeat of your quest; and 

The melody of your soul;

None is without the day of christening;

None is without the moment of fraternity; and 

The details are in the reflections on your life;

……………………………….

*2.* Multitudes seek a way out of the quagmire;

Penury rises at the East of the disenchanted; and 

At the West of the dejected darkness sets in;

Yet the parallel robe changes the cry of the Different: –

Abundance amidst difficulty rises from the East of their cry; and 

At the West, real comfort, coaxes the rhythm of their hope;

…………………………….

*3.* Must I deny my existential burden:

Nay, I will invite the right hand of Remedy – 

In planning, I call the name of Success;

In working, I call the names of Excellence and Fruitfulness;

In difficulty, I call the name of Overcomer;

In a straight betwixt two, I call the names of Clarity and Vision;

…………………………….

*4.* When accused, I call the names of Honesty and Conviction;

In betrayal, I call the name of Loyalty;

In beholding penury, I call the names of Compassion and Kindness;

When everything is beneath, I call the Name-Above-All-names JESUS.

    The first stanza feels like an elegy of reminiscence
    The second stanza now coalates the thoughts of the present while contrasting.
    Stanzas 3 and 4 focus on the resolve for the future and the merits of a state d writer finds herself in. The beauty n love of being a Christian n following the Christ.
    It’s a lovely piece of art
    Its a free verse so the style seems dynamic.
