After Isaiah 7
In midst of
trial,
disaster
imminent,
surrounded by
scorpions,
by death,
seeking refuge
in strength, in
allies,
in
fortifications,
discovering
futility,
chased by those
scorpions
to find
sanctuary
with vipers, and
then
a light
a glimmer
a slight
shimmering
in the darkness
s promise
a hope a sign
all was lost but
all was not lost
defeat and victory
wrapped together
in the same
package.
Who could dream
such a thing:
victory riding
among us
in the midst of
defeat,
the beginning in
the end
the overwhelming
darkness
overcome by the
light
edging down the
mountain
before bursting
into radiance.
