So, stand upon your embroidered golden throne,
and shake my inclination to seek truth
The cardinal rule will cut me to the bone,
to disbelieved, to and this forsooth
The priests rush in to stake adumbrate claim
Without a though of shame upon their name

Comment from Janet Foor
Sorry, I tried reading it as a complete sentence and I still could not make sense of it. I liked the title and the comment "God prized him. Should he speak or not? This is a challenge poem on God feeling, God Prize."
Best wishes

This is a better poem and more comprehensible .i think it is about your realisation that god comes when you call and shows you the right path .shadows disappear and brilliant hues appear to bedazzle you.gift of expressions are discarded by others.

This is a much longer offering than your usual posts, which allowed me a chance to try and feel/ see the imagery that you are trying to create. However, I did find the constant use of 'Thou and Thy' quite distracting. Good luck with the challenge.

THANKS
Comment from Caressa_08
This poem, is a little complicated, though so can be life.
My interpretation is God is the prize, his mercy & goodness is so hard to keep to oneself & inturn the life lived will be rewarded, that is, if we accept God, as our prize & all the beauty he gives us, this in nature, etc, we see through Him, the prize, our reward..

1 Corinthians 2
New King James Version (NKJV)
Christ Crucified
2 And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony[a] of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human[b] wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5 that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Spiritual Wisdom
6 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, 8 which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 But as it is written:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."[c]
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy[d] Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. 16 For "who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?"[e] But we have the mind of Christ.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
I embrace love pearls and
learn how Thou dissolve penumbra and
melt xen-reddish clouds
that I look into
thru' Thy gift
the vision in my sight,
Now this I understand and can relate to...
God's gifts are many and so awesome...
there's vivid imagery in your words.

I managed to find another one from you. An excellent picture to complement it. And your free verse poem is even better. You covered much ground in this one. All or mainly referring to God. Good post the day before Sunday.

I read this particular poem several times, I found it to be a piece that almost required a meditative spirit to fully feel they emotion being conveyed. I look forward to reading more of your work.
