Notes About The Poem

"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me" 

John 10:14

Strayed Sheep

Where is the shepherd
Who left behind his livestock
At the Lover's Seat?

The hired hand sleeps
Inattentive to the flock
The sheep go their way

They are unaware
There is danger near the cliffs
Though the grass is sweet

Where is the Shepherd
Will he retrieve his people
From the Sinner's Seat?
