It's been a long-ass time since i've submitted a poem.....i guess this one is terrible enough to submit....try not to fall asleep half way through

Upon Your Shelf

I see you in the other room
kneeling before the Hearth
praying to your golden god
asking for rebirth

He answers back so beautifully
but you cannot understand
you merely want a psalm to read
but He offers the Promised Land

You see my friend, I was there
on such a faithful night
when your plea of broken shame
brought me to the light

I now sit upon your shelf
in an inconspicuous way
I am the shield of golden metal
to which you now must pray

Hi Matt ~

I like your poem, and the way it shifts perspectives with prayers and lessons.
