from the given path that safety had need to follow to where the grass appeared greener one seemingly harmless nibble at a time I wandered blinded that my straying footsteps were taking me to where provision no longer sustained nor was easily provided each bite became harder and harder to come by one soul ripe for the losing I angered at the situation angered at my choices in the beginning my rantings more than overfilled me but when words alone remained to sustain no matter how bitter they must be eaten eventually my store ran dry and silence prevailed one soul ripe for the picking danger ever on the loose had me in sharp focus but ninety-nine left behind the Sheppard rose against the impending threat gentle entreatings combed the waysides from the lost and the helpless He claimed one soul ripe for the finding |

I truly understand the anger... one day I shall fly off the handle at all I've been given to deal with... and I only pray that I will be able to do so as gracefully, and eloquently, as you have. |

in the beginning my rantings more than overfilled me but when words alone remained to sustain no matter how bitter they must be eaten eventually my store ran dry and silence prevailed one soul ripe for the picking Oh, lady... I took a different path... but know this place well... and that's just one of the reasons I applaud this poem... and one person's progress from human frailties to faith. Excellent work!! |
