Shall I Harken?

Shall I Harken?

Howbeit so, upon my last gasp
When life itself, hast lost its grasp
When the anchor of life, no longer holds true
Shall I harken with a rasp?

Angels swirl, amid bands of Light
While shadows flee, into the night
While tethers clamour, like broken chains
Shall I harken, upon my flight?

Surely thus, it must be so
No sinews belong, where I must go
No chains nor shadows exist in this realm
Shall I harken? I do not know

Needless and futile, I pondered this
As I was swept away, from my abyss
As I was nearing, the light from above
Shall I harken? Or am I amiss?

Suddenly a voice, so pure and clear
Flowed through my spirit, as I drew near
Flowed like a river, so gentle and pure
(Yet no mortal flesh, could ever endure)

T'is now I end, my last refrain
For I shall ask, this once again;
Shall I harken, onto my Lord?
Verily I shall~my spirit implored.
