Mighty with Resolve - Cynthia Poten

[Larry Robinson]

Mighty with Resolve 



It was a time when the word served insolent creed,
spawned slaughter and hunger, served personal need,
was a monogrammed forkful of glitz and cake

It was a time when word's ancient force was a zinnia
glowing for days after wind broke its stem and a lone
silky newt spiraling slow in a far alpine lake

Then the world exploded and the Living Word,
bathed in blood and anguish, crept out of the rubble
mighty with resolve          
Its time had come again

	- Cynthia Poten
