Walk the road


Walk the road at night
wilderness road
wilderness night
darkness canopied
by stars, night sky
wilderness night sky
stars emblazon without
lighting the road 

pause
stop
gaze upward
reach 

cut
fingers on the stars
blood
drops on the road
wilderness road
wilderness night

    The voice of one crying in the wildernes
    finger pointing
    to stars declaring
    blood moon sharing
    prepare ye the way of the LORD

    The beauty of the stars transposed with the cutting and drawing of blood is a complelliing image for me. Wonderful piece, Glynn.

    Favorite stanza has to be last:

    "cut
    fingers on the stars
    blood
    drops on the road
    wilderness road
    wilderness night"

    Enjoyed the read.
