Notes About The Poem

Darting Arrows

Darting Arrows

Skippy shadows, 
at the corners of the walls, 
ceilings, and floors. 
Easiest seen by those that drink, 
do drugs, foreign or domestic. 
But they are not by themselves... 
You know what I am talking about, 
once you have seen them. 
Don't let them know you have. 
Be quiet. 

Fear is what they feed on. 
God did not give you that spirit. 
He tells you, that you are valuable.
And... You Are!

Spiders may be, 
sometimes ants, 
but all crickets, they do the dance. 
Evil in plain sight. 
Swallow hard, 
do not take flight. 

The armor of God is needed. 
To wear it... get on your knees! 
It is not heavy or a burden, 
but light for the fight ahead. 
Sweet land in the distance, 
the future of Jubilee. 

Reborn.
