The Beacon (Shine On...)

Warehouse of the Weary,

here,

if you care to look,

you find your Tired,

your Hungry,

you Poor

and not from Foreign Lands

on Distant Shores,

but the neighbor next door

the one you never found

the time to know.

does the Welcome Wagon

even still arrive anymore?...

The last time I recall one

was back in "84,

Dutchman's Pipe

was in full bloom

on my front porch,

doe hanging

in the old root cellar

with water laden cobwebs

and spider webs

older than some states

glistening in the light

of one bare bulb

and scraped skins ready

for processing

laying wrapped on shelves

built into the rock wall

a century before...

 

Such is the twist of things

in the Mist called Life,

we sometime grope

but rays of Hope do shine,

sometimes shining upon

what you need to see before you,

other times shining upon you,

so you come to Believe

where Life has taken you

was always where

you were supposed to be;

but it is your Choice

to Believe in a Greater Power

and take the chance

or you may lose the opportunity

to do the good things

for yourself and others

you were always meant,

you have been sent,

if you have the Faith,

to do...|
