James Marshall Goff Poet Quatrain

Harbinger

Shadows of the pre-dawn night
Of thee I fathom what's to come
Fear not the shades of hopeless strife
Thy will preludes the strength of sun

O'er prairies filled with downy haze
Your power seeks to forge a path
That follows rainbows all the way
From lightning strikes to calm at last

Of thee I fathom what's to come
'Till sundown, battles will be won!
