The Shepherd's Cross

Darkness      falls
The  world  fades
My shepherd calls
Where light awaits
His  voice  is near
I    will   not   fear
He’ll take me back to pastures green, within His Grace
I shall not lack      for I have seen    His splendid Face
Though  evil roars
It    can’t   devour
His   life   He  gave
To  keep  me  safe
His might endures
My  hope’s  secure
So  here  I  stand
In  Promised Land
Where  I  belong
With my arms raised
I   sing  a   song
To give Him praise

Thank you Anaya. I discovered shape poetry through George Herbert, who also wrote a lot of Biblical and pastoral poems. This is, in a sense, a tribute to one of my favourite poets of all times.
