Serpentine thoughts,
fill the heart,
as we trudged the miry road,
of difficulties
listening for the whistles,
if life's umpire
so we may cease this race,
of endless pursuit,
and listen to the horns
that prods us home.


Listen to the wailings,
of the harps
they halt the gongs of war,
like the sun stood still
and blades kissed in settlement,
The tide is ripe,
like a papaya bursting open
to expose tiny freckles
we're lone peebles lost at sea
but the master's wail
is but tidings to the ears


We will return home,
swords in sheath,
like Odyssey, bows asunder
and arrows refrained
like Zeus in raging anger
no more with lightning
blood is but a thread
that binds us spirally
and we're same when the earth
is reddened with our anger


Sweet hymns, the savior's flute,
like ragged souls to the cross
seeking redemption like air
we're dented by transgressions
as we shudder home
as lost lambs
as the shepherd's rods
probes us at dusk
to the lane to salvation.
