Ponder

Ponder

Lots, for a priceless Royal robe!
   Faggots fly! from the wicked; flail!
      Symbol of replaced; deaf lopped off lobe,
         Direction true! of the pointing nail.

            Why seek to be heard; and seen of men?
               Follow the Shepherd; take up the tree!
                  Ponder the effort; find souls to win!
                      Discover; agency isn't free.

                        Hoped for escape! washing their hands,
                           "Am I His keeper? I know Him not!"
                              All could have life; following His plans,
                                 They assume Eternity vain; scheme a plot.

                                    Trading glory for glitter; in the meeting,
                                       Masters love, all other Glory; is fleeting!

Now that's what I call putting a different slant on choices, eternal glory, symbolism and wordplay sir .. A cracking bit o poetry and most original formatting, if you don't mind me saying so ..
Now I gotta go book into an osteopath to correct the crick in me neck :)

Well Jim there is most certainly a lot ponder offered in your your ponder!
A lot to take in  indeed and your closing lines resonate so well,

  ' Trading glory for glitter; in the meeting,
    Masters love, all other Glory; is fleeting!'

Well said!
And like all before certainly food for though of one's place in this world. 
Thank you Jim for this early morning wake up call and will pm you now and hope all is well my brother.
