30 | May 16, 2019 | the new lenox patriot life & arts newlenoxpatriot.com Poetry Corner The Dying Church Poetry Corner I CAN’T WEIGHT! Castles built in cities dire, Housing hearts without the fire. Steeples’ bells which once aroused, Now shout work! And grace is doused. Its spirit weeps, an abandoned bride, Love songs sung have slowly died. And my spirit sinks into an endless song, Mourn, mourn, my soul, His church foregone. She struggles on to hear the preacher. Deaf he is to the real Teacher. Choking melodies that once were heard. Sentencing to death the Living Word. The Bridegroom weeps for the empty womb, A barren place now like a tomb. His bride’s spirit broken apart, Her heart grows cold, her eyesight dark. And my spirit sinks into an endless song, Mourn, Mourn, my soul, His church foregone. Mourn, mourn, my soul, His church is dead Cut to the quick by leaven bread. I find no solace to my grief, A comforter to give relief, Yet on the horizon shining bright, Is a sparkle of wondrous Light. And my spirit soars into endless song, Praise, praise, my soul, has seen the Dawn. Marcia Horan, New Lenox Warm weather starts with a little of sorrow As I test out my shorts, I must diet tomorrow! But the scale goes up, then the scale goes down; One day is a smile, the next day a frown. Oh someone get me off this Merry-Go- Round! Off to the gym To try to get trim. I try a new diet But I don’t get slim. It seems hopeless to me, my bikini desire. Here comes the personal trainer I hire. I lift some weights to fight my bulges And hope it hides my food indulges. It’s an endless battle, this fight-to-lose war. My weight loss resolution just goes out the door. It’s a victory won to stay slim for a week; Then I say goodbye to the weight I seek. A chocolate brownie, its fat grams I count; As I drink diet cola, the carbohydrates mount. Veggies and protein, it’s got to be; Stay away from sugar religiously. They say drink water to get rid of the bloat, But yikes is that water weight or fat I denote. I must find a bathroom or my false teeth will float. I go to the sauna to sweat it away; Take Zumba to keep all the calories at bay. I do yoga to help me manage the stress, I run and I bike to look good in a dress. This diet yo-yo just makes me a mess. Why use a scale, I’ll just have to guess. So I open the window with a suicide “Hail!” And throw out my betrayer, my bathroom scale. Marcia Horan New Lenox, Find local jobs within your community.
