wonder on dawn

Out on the corner thumping a bible in time

We shared the last of the wine

Drifters in believing

Taking only

Wisdom

Defined

 

 

From anger coming a night wind blows past

Ripple of dreamers

Which will dream their last

 

Ah but I wonder

For wondering is what

I do

 

Comfort in seeing

Travel an ocean blue

When will the kill

Kill you

 

Eyes turned toward

A dying sun

 

Saw me a red bird

As dove to see

A flower that you held

 

Stopped the wind

To blow

 

Over the currents I follow

Into the wonder of sight

Ships pass in final flight

 

Lady in harbor

Slits another way

 

Can’t recall her name

She carries my child the same

 

Ribbons of halo

Under a storm dark sky

Last of the sparrow

On my window

She cries

 

Pennies a perfect lie

Over the eyes of never

Which is the way to go

 

Shepard of another time

Walks the pathway

Drinks the last of my wine

Into the shadows I follow

Seeking retribution

 

Ripple of dreamers

Which will dream their last

 

I have stood in the valley of death

Passed the mountain

Taken its last request

Near a shadow do I know?

Only the soft of voices

Crying as I go

 

Rent you a day dream

Dream you a nightmare

Its true

 

Last of the bottle

Is what is left in you

 

Out on the corner thumping a bible in time

We shared the last of the wine

Drifters in believing

Taking only

Wisdom

Defined

Epiphany by Gary Stephens

“We’re going to use nine megaton warheads in space and we’re not sure they’re large enough to be effective. Why would you even consider using kiloton-range surface-to-air warheads as back-up?” The answer was succinct. “Because they’re all we have.”
