Wend Ye Onto The Vintage

Wend Ye Onto The Vintage

A Poem by Franc Rodriguez
"

A poem inspired by a portrait I had seen once before.

"
Wend ye onto the vintage,
Beyond a hollow graveyard,
Amidst the great shortage,
O'er the valley of a vineyard.

Behold ye a sun that drapes,
The winsome harvest nigh, 
Across the rows of grapes,  
And fills thy baskets high. 

Reap ye with thine hands,
Wrought fields blooming,
Betwixt the manifold lands,
With an old steeple looming.

Toil ye the warm summers,
My weary and fain peasants, 
Till the coming of the winters, 
Amidst the sweetest currants. 

Be ye brazen and unremitting,
With thy sweat of the e'ening,
As ye strive in a godly setting,
Abreast the oak trees ripening.

Herry thy Lord that begot ye,
When thy needs were forgotten,
And astray and forlorn were ye, 
The belov'd children begotten.

Follow ye the clouds so thickly,
Beyond those crimson roses, 
As mine eyes have seen quickly,
His mighty welkin that encloses.

Hail ye the poor and wretch'd,
Who thy Lord has bless'd then,
Upon thine hearts anguish'd,
Amongst the women and men.

Very awesome read. I like how your writing flows together, to make me visualize everything that's going on. Many stories on here do that, and that's why most of the stories I read on here are good because you all are very talented and gifted, I visualized everything as I was reading it. Great writing. On to another topic. I have a website where I post my short stories, and blogs on. I also have ads on the website. I was wondering if you can go to my website, and click on any ad. you don't have to buy anything, I promise you won't get any viruses, all it is is google adsense on my website, and the more clicks on the ads, the more it helps grow my website. My website is bwlawson.com I appreciate it, that you would be taking part in helping my craft, business, product, and brand grow. Thank you!
