Damascus Road

So many years have come
and gone - so many faces, so many hearts
have passed my way.
This is my destiny, this life my path
that I walk alone, searching
for another who would be as I am.

     Windows of light climb the skyline
     like Jacob reaching, arms outstretched -
     wings that will carry him to the moon...

So many words have touched
this page - so many souls, so many hurts
have passed my way.
This is my legacy, these words my path
that I make alone, searching
for another chance to be as I am.

     A final triumphant voice of fury
     echoes as a mother cries, her child
     crucified in a garden of stone...
