The Divine Storyteller
A storyteller on a pulpit, a podium of radiance
A lighthouse in the turbulent seas of humanity
Viscount keeper of the holy word
As stentorian discourse parts fervent lips
Uprooted from scrolls of time-tested fables
Scripts eternalized by the breath of divinity
Transcending age's resolute craftsmanship
Defying nature's chisel maneuvered by the palms of time
To capture the tapestries of divine history, twine by twine
To sow seeds of knowledge on fertile temples, to harvest charity in grains of deed
For the creatures of God to mature in benevolence, in the surrogacy of mother earth
To fly to the heavens, fluttering the wings of your conscience
As a lonely crusader battles with his arsenal of love and honor
To sculpt with finesse fragments of perpetual clay
To bestow to effigies of mankind the fountain of eternal life
