Roads to Here

The Answer

Painting by: Roger Woods

He spoke the words, i lowered my reverent head
uncovered; infinite in his sight.
Fearless loyalty to become my life
with a word, i am almost vindicated
with a word, my disappearance begins.

The answer an utterance of effortless grace
my mobility, my rights taken by the word...yes
yes, he says
taken.

The word sounds my inner alarm sending me to outer space,
to that place where His approval, His scent and the touch of His hand
is all that captivates me.

The answer has silenced my screams.
