Perhaps Past-Christmas
I
crafting, chiseling, drawing out
a masterpiece
in the shadow of humanity
lonesome voice
in this OUR wilderness
but we went astray, by choice
II
pastors and priests, professors, political elite
they keep falling, after an innocent rise
abusing people
abusing kindnesses
abusing community
yes, after the Holiday, we can talk freely
where we may look, whom to hearken
other than Old Testament prophets
Among whom Ezekiel spoke of fire, dry bones ...
Isaiah spoke of "Immanuel" but "The Suffering Servant" too
Amos talked "righteousness"
III
like a river, mighty in metamorphosis, torrents
that begin so alone, solitary in the mountains
(So little, so alone, yet so alive in GRACE)
that seek to bless humanity
even you
even me
