I Gave it My Best

I've Given All Verily Ending In The Month, Year By Expressing Subtle Truths.

It grew and visions evolved in their majesty, yet became empty, still torn.

In glossolalia and verse emitted interesting themes, mouthing yarns by encouraging soul talking.

Instant gratification and validation exposed in the message, your baptism echoes standing testament.

A/N - Footnote: I've never seen or written anything quite like this before and think it's a unique form of acrostic prose. I'm taking the liberty of christening this form a 'Lateral Acrostic Prose'.

The prose expresses a story of how 'I Gave it My Best', that is for the POY 2019, having sought and achieved my aim of maintaining its Godly theme, albeit the latter deviates from my norm being more cryptic.
