Daniel Human Poet Couplet

The Call

Counting the days
   And endless ways
      To get to you
Endless void 
     From this vantage point
     Looking uphill, afar
     So far,
                To get to you
Dedication, trepidation
                 Uncertainty so sure
                                   Walking to your
                 Ever-loving lure
Marching, a beat
Orders
          (not barked)
Willing shod slipping feet
           Crossing land, borders,
           Foreign street
Getting our minds
            Around marching orders
Obstacles, blocks, rocks abound
            Tumbling down by the trumpet sound
Victory, victorious,
            -	More than that –
                More than over-comers

Less tit-for-tat
Heeding the call,
             Stumble and fall,
                          But get up,
                     Get up
                           (just like st. Paul)
Forging ahead,
Raising the dead
                 Stepping in purpose
                 And purpose in step…
