The Shift of Light

gray0328

 

the morning cracks its knuckles slow

Jerusalem’s dust settles again

nobody’s holy when dawn shivers

John’s voice drags through alleyways

he knows the curtain’s lifting now

preparations bleed into destiny’s stage

the Messiah’s shadow stretches long

a carpenter's son strides center scene

eyes like storms over lonely waters

his calloused hands shake the world

John drinks this fading twilight alone

in the end beginnings always echo

the overture fades, life sharpens its edge
