My Rock

When the crack lands on the ice in me

Where will you be?

When the flash lights up the eyes that be

Will you see?

When the darkness swallows the dimmest

Will your light manifest?

When brimstone falls in tongues and cloves

Will there be greenery and light for the gentle dove

Carved in the cages of my sympathy

There is a mighty that preserves empathy

Down in that which cradles my brain is the inscription “my belief.”

There the cries of doom are blocked and faith sums my relief
