To the Author
looking up rainbow tail pushes comet leaving stars behind
like the eternal promise it brings a man and child
side by side we lay on crumpling earth
a smeltering furnace of a mountain
looking down as chasms open
erupting molten rivers roar no place to go
the rainbow bends as fiery tide rises looking up
in starless sky as enormous flying icy rock head on falls
as we lay on the shifting ground no place to go
save us Jesus words spoken and heard
no longer straight on but crashes the land
where volcano and splitting parched earth came for us
to the left side of me and child with no place to go
awoke from night vision no fear though a terrifying scene
but after this still looking up
