1,000 watery footsteps.



1,000 watery footsteps.
_______________

1,000 watery footsteps, danced
down the dirty windowpane.
It was a rainy day.
And though the sun was hidden
(from some) it smiled!
(sweetly in some other place.)

There was music!
Every object played
an instrument!
A song tuneless...
with an Angels Chorus
of Contempt!
(for the Devils amusement.)

The villagers watched it
from their rooftops,
(wondering when the storm
would stop.)
as it drowned the screams of
dying livestock,
and killed the ticking of Times
Clock!

Then swiftly from The Highest
Mountain came,
(on a cloud by faithful
angels made)
A Faceless Man in Purest White;
who bears the Seal of Holy Names!

He spoke in tongues before the People,
putting to rest that Raging Storm,
which was a test, (of Natures Evil)
and then his Face took form!

1,000 watery footprints,
dance down The Broken Windowpane,
but while the Son Seems hidden
(from some) he Smiles!
(smiles NOW in every Place.)

J.Stephen.H.
