testament - collaboration of wulf and charl1

[rinna(on leave...for eternity)]

Slow puddles form
around my feet
as sudden stigmata
warm my palms.

An utterance of faith
escapes cold chapped lips,
a journey travelled
all for naught.
My starveling song
echoes plaintively
in the cathedral vaults
of memory.

Doffing my worn cloak of faith,
I lay to rest the testament
of a journey ill-prepared.

I kneel before this altar
and all I can offer in penance
is myself.

[rinna(on leave...for eternity)]

invisible,
i think we were after a resigned feeling, a melancholy finality...thank you for reading this.

rinna you and Wulf did quite well here, it's as if no matter what is cast before you you still follow the advice given and you still seek for truth. That is how this touched me.
