Image: A Child in Prayers (here)10 of 12 given Wordle words;
morning, mist deer withered shadow, spruce
juniper (juniper berries used in cleansing
rituals from evil forces and recognized as
symbols of purification and protection)
fetish breath prayers
It had finally come to a boil
Wandering in the woods in the
morning mist ditched in the middle
of nowhere like a deer lost in the city
Not wanting to make light of his
predicament he reflected
on rumours garnered through
the grape-vine
Withered, in his demeanor
a shadow of his normal self
The might of the Almighty
could be called upon to spruce
up confidence and strength
with the juniper berries
Certainly not a fetish in doing so
Nothing is more frustrating than to
hear tell it was the truth even though
it was just through sliver thin
confirmation of unsolicited
information
In a slow breath he
whispered to himself in prayers
He must determine the sanctity
of truth

An interesting poem! Both young and old seek to find the truth even if it is difficult and just a sliver!

So evocative, Hank! 💘
ReplyDeleteI think maybe the searching is what matters the most... especially things that are this hard to find.
ReplyDelete"the sanctity of truth" can be so elusive. Thought provoking write, Hank.
