Light Rises On Her Passage
free verse
Sheltered in safety's shadows.
Knowing God cares for her chief concern
Soon the golden sunshine will flourish.
She watches tiny minnows, skittering they scurry;
and notes the hawthorn berry’s smell, sweet yet faint.
She hears music from the brook; recalls a tune.
Whisp’ring rest, grace notes echo from limb to limb.
Twixt hearth and home, her heart cannot grasp
Trusting God, what lesson might she learn?
Sheltered in safety's shadows.
Light rises on her passage.
Swiftly, she embarks on journey’s end
fearing not the danger she might face.
Horse and maiden head t'wards town with hoarded stash
filled high with reddish berries and heartfelt thought.
Sweet mother’s heart is hushed, likely by disease.
Will nature ordain what wise daughter has found
Death as yet she cannot comprehend
asking God's guidance for the trip.
Light rises on her passage.
