Let me paint a picture of very few words,
but of image that turn thoughts to flesh.
A majestic time of palace and prince, pastured fields in the light of day.
Summon your brother, farewell your love, fill the streets with courage and steel.
Fall in line one man at a time, kiss your cross in silent prayer.
Set the stage for a patriots production of bloodied acres in chess style mass.
Fallen soldier or my fathers son, through out it all one common ground, a place in gods kingdom, an empire of kings,
I thank thee for this bounty I'm about to receive.

let me just be really honest, anything that says paint in it, and im done: its pavlovian---i start subliminally drooling and find it really hard to breathe. ... and then to "paint" a scene so epic and quiet and feathery fierce.....its like spiritual vs physical, sacred vs sacrilege, profane vs profound. .. .. and every ounce of it seems like you whispered it onto flesh, like you snuck up behind some heart and breathed this tapestry......egads......paint some more; immediately.

image conveyed..... the last line ties it up nicely... i love archaic language... sacril-delicious.
