The Archer
The Archer by kmlsIn the high sea of clouds,
in willowing wisps of white,
an evil lurks.
The winds of the world bring
the first whisper of change,
an alien thing.
A dragon.
Red as blood, gleaming darkness,
its armor, invincible?
Heavy metal talons, drooling jaws,
acid falling, burning earth below.
It screams through the sky,
wings creaking, flapping furiously,
breathing flame.
Men flee,
like tiny ants scurrying
from desecration
into it.
Only One holds his ground,
a bow and one arrow
in his hand.
The Prince awaits,
as if to allow the dragon to
devour him.
Then with a flash,
he looses his arrow.
It soars through the air.
Blood gushing,
the dart buried deep,
the dragon crashes to the ground.
Landing on the One.
From amongst the dragon’s corpse,
amidst dying coals and wisps of smoke,
a figure crawls,
stands.
It is the Archer,
the One,
Him.From the collection “Words at 16 (1983)”

Storm Surge
In the end,
will you be faithful?
That is question.When the storm has come and gone,
when what you thought was precious has been stripped away,
when you sleep in darkness wondering if the lights will ever come back on,
when your life in the flash of lightning reverts back to the everyday of your sisters and brothers in the warzone,
when your plane to those destinations is grounded by the thunder’s roar?Will you awake to new resolve for justice?
Will you spend less time before the screen and more time present to loved ones and those in need of it?
Will you leave the ground to alight among the troubled?
Will you listen to them?Will the power that comes on be in you,
through you,
glowing out through your eyes,
electrifying,
filling you with a compassion so compelling
you become a wire
among many

love and peace

I Am . . .
I am the ringing chime

I am the blowing breeze
I am the pileated’s cry
I am the wind in the trees
I am the hush before thunder
I am the trembling leaf
I am the ache beneath wonder
I am the prayer under grief
I am the shadow at evening
I am the gold on the hill
I am the creek softly speaking
I am the soul becoming still
I am the dog at the doorway
I am the lamp in the rain
I am the path through the meadow
I am the song after pain
I am not one thing only
I am neither fixed nor confined
I am the world God is breathing
in my body, spirit, and mind.
