Skopéo’
(aim towards)

by Dahni

  

                                           Valiantly casting off deeds of the dark
                                                              with careful aim to not miss mark
                                                                              Let fly God's shaft of light
                                                                                       into the cold dark night.
                                                                      The barren and broken revel in fears
                                                                   gasping from sorrow  -  drowning in tears.
                                                                      Open your arms to the bruised - to the lost
                                                                 Embrace the demented and tempest tossed.
                                                                     Kiss the wretched  -  the loathsome lot
                                        show kindness to cruelty  -  your life has been bought.
                                                                             Sow a seed and it shall grow
                                                                           as the sunflower to the sun
                                                              guide those lost to see and know
                                                               The effulgent Grace begun!
