Good Shepherd
Good shepherd
Good shepherd
seek me out
lift me from gutters
and alleys
and hours of despair
call me out from drunken,
unsmiling foolishness
rescue me
from the dark machinery
of this world
from the program of evil
that lurks
like a dank mist
blow it gently away
on warm, yellow breaths
walk into the middle
of my sadness and dejection
place your warm
kiss onto my lips
look with your gently
piercing eyes
into the bottom of my heart
find the place
that wants you desperately
and whisper
‘i have come’
tear away the filthy rags
I covered myself
with in my shame
and confusion
fling your soft purple
across my shoulders
room for two inside,
and there find all of me
softly
awaiting you.
