Me and the Oldborn King

By John Blase | December 11, 2013 |
For years I could trace
the course of our alliance.
But no longer.
We’ve gone off the page.
I don’t feel abandoned
but trailed, like those old
cop movies where the one car
follows, trying to be unassuming.
But I know you’re there.
I catch your well-pleased
shadow whispering don’t be afraid.

    Sometimes your poetry takes my breath away with it’s sense of rightness….this is one of those days. Thank you!

    Beautiful… it captures my smile and a sigh for the beauty of it.

    Just when I thought I had to do the following….what a relief!

    Ah, yes, I can feel Him when I’ve gone off the path He has set for me. I know he is patiently awaiting my return, ensuring my safety until I place my feet on the path of the same page again.

    Ahhh….so that’s what happened those years ago. Now I see, and I will not be afraid.
