Conversation with a Day Star

Shelley Lesher

Ready for a poem to make you think?  Who might we meet that can offer us life and righteousness?
 


Poetry
Fantasy

In the sky,
I saw a god, rising, burning
Who, creeping across the clouds
Reached his hand down inside my heart
And I lived.

I prayed, “Am I good?”
“Not yet - wait,” he answered.
“But when?”
“Meet me tonight.”
“At the crossroads?”
“Yes, on the horizon.
There we must die,
And tomorrow when we rise,
Your righteousness shall break forth,
Like the dawn.”
