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...
