Milky Weigh

 The Milky Way

A path to where?

A billion stars at which to stare,

Or a billion eyes that blink at us

From deep deep space and clouds of dust.

A brush stroke in the starlit sky

A misty cloud of wonder why

Observed by all down steps of time

Light years away but somehow mine

It’s fingers stretch into the air

With just a glow in sky so fair

Between the milky cloudy light 

Blackness shrouds the dead of night

Like men before and men to come

Transfixed by beauty of distant suns

I wonder if my mind is there

Unlocked for everyone to share.

Take me by the hand , 

lead me like a lamb that follows gleefully in the steps of the Ewe

Teach me your ways, cast me in your  spell , steer my through the storm 

Show me the stars, calm my heart, free my mind , free my soul

Wrap me in your eyes, breathe me in.

For I need shelter 

From apocalypse around

From shuddering ground

I need armour of steel

I need seas to hold my tears

Prisons to hold my fears

Rivers to hold the blood 

From my ruptured heart

Courage to see me through the darkest of nights

Filled with terror death and fright

Shelter from the putrid minds

That spread disease like a scum

Enveloping the babes in arms of the old, the young.

Shelter please, I beg , I’m praying now.

A light to guide me from the shadow.

Him and Him  now slug it out

But He will win without a doubt.

And as for Him 

He will always prevail

So Against Him we all must rail.
