another poem

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
