His Keep

Who is that?

Twisted fingers, pointed, raised

She comes out of that barren place

Foul-mouthed, unscrupulous words

Drops of silence and everyone stares

Gaping-eyes feasting hungrily

they scramble into herds

whining in disarray

How did she get out?

Who is that? She cometh from that desert place

She is unscathed yet she bears the scars

The screamy howls of the past lurks behind

Bewildered by how this one got out

She ambulates the presence of someone near

She walks in a cloud-like pillar of smoke

Who is this that comes out of that wilderness place?

Pointy crooked noses sniffing the air

Like wild dogs whiffing the trail of her scent

Squirming, cringing in detest to her perfumed mystiques

frankincense, myrrh, and spikenard

She ambulates the presence of someone Great

Who is that with her?

She is not alone!

Flesh-pecked scars peek out from under her violet array

Sun-kissed skin glowing

The taste of grit, a gentle reminder of that dry place

Who is that with her?

She is not alone!

She ambulates the presence of someone Glorious

She walks in a cloud

Who is this that comes out of that wilderness place?

Wrangled sour-mouths screak in torment

It is He! The Great I am!

She is not alone!

His face like the sun, His feet liken unto brass

He walks yet He flows

He finds her in that barren place

Clawing, burnt-eyed, scattered like bats from His light

He walks yet He flows as His shadow scalds their darkness

He finds her in that desert place

Who is she?

She is His find

She is His keep
