L'Nass Shango Poet Verse

The Call

Not Damascus road but the burning bush
Or where the ships for Tarshish dock
Find me swaddled in the bulrush deep
With neither rod nor sight I shall hide
Only where you cleft your side for me
And as your witness pursue hell's Herod
Beyond my brimming wilderness, for I
To your service pledge my life in praise

Joy Wellington November 21, 2010 at 7:40 PM Your last line sort of made me look at the whole poem again, I could see that this is one who sees himself as called, set apart so-to-speak, for the service of God.

Joy Wellington November 21, 2010 at 7:35 PM "With neither rod nor sight I shall hide, only where you cleft your side for me". Thats all the Master ask us to do. To hide ourselves in that cleft, that place that is an hiding place just for us, from the many wiles and snares of the devil. Blessings, Joy (Jew)
