Leader of men 
By Michelle Morris
08/12/2022

You looked back 
One last time
Took a match
And burned it to the ground

As you glanced
At that fateful house
I knew then
The fire would strike

Like lightning in a bottle
Like cats on a hot tin roof
Like black holes in space
You always felt you'd lose

All that energy trapped inside you
So many suns and energy
I knew you had to explode
And let it all be free

Let the lightning strike the glass
Let the cats shriek their chorus
Let the black holes create wormholes
It's time to change your story

When you walked away
Fiery halo glows
You looked like a warrior angel
Ready to strike God's blows

Like a stone skipping on a pond
Like autumn's leaves drifting to the ground
Like a pilot breaking the sound barrier
The ripples would flow around you

Let the stone skip forth your message
Let the autumn give way to winter
Let the boom shake loose the residue
Of this life you're leaving behind

You travelled around the world
You learned about cultures and beliefs
You remade yourself from the ground up
The foundations humble and fierce

You never returned to this town
Who could blame you for what they did?
But sometimes I see you around
When I'm astral travelling in dreams

Like the snow on the highest mountains
Like the dewdrops on the sweet crocus in spring
Like the lambs who are born so innocent
You are reborn and strengthened by Him

Let the heights guide your aspirations
Let those dewdrops keep you clean
Let your innocence always remain
As you become a leader of men
