Where Mercy Abounds

There is a place
That speaks of Kings
Sharp sickles
&
Threshing floors
*
And we
The fallen..
Blooms
&
Fragile limbs
Who once flourished
In the finest season
Bleed
A Potpourri of dried tears
An aching void
*
And He
Of Promised rain
Who parts the mist
&
Shadows gleam..
Mocking sadness
Fades
Like darkest dreams
*
And so
Is the story
Spoken of hidden realms
Of Kings and vessels
With sharp sickles
*
Indeed,
Mercy abounds
Where sympathy
&
Affection sprout
From fertile hearts
&
Threshing floors~

 Inspiration from a devotional (I think Cowman)
Posted in the Wintertime last year ?

That's a pretty cool purple header! What a poem, at once very dark and hopeful!! And this Christmas song on your player goes very wll as the background music, the instrumentation is just a bit dark, sounding almost midevel.
