Paul

by Zachary Harris

Guarded by scales 
 
Veiled by tales
 
before, now, and then
 
In the lion’s sanctuary
 
the beast’s damning den
 
 
Within the blinding light
 
Scales become a binding night
 
Before and now
 
For the reapers deciding field
 
Into the eternal deciding plow
 
 
But with interruption 
 
To the outside and within
 
Now and then
 
Those ghostly veils descend
 
And thus the sinner rises again
 
 
Ushered now into hope
 
Guarded by light to eternally cope
 
Before, now, and then
 
See the remnants of the descending pen
 
that deems the soul filled with righteousness, free from sin
