The Poets Korner: Untitled

Like sheep

We seek 
our shepherds 
to usher us into correctitude 
And guide us throughout life 
And deliver us from spite 
To pull us toward our problems and lead us from that dark knight 

Our shepherd is our father

 Our watcher

 And our friend 

To leave his watchful gaze to graze along the banks of forgetfulness

 is to sign away our right to find the treasure the shepherd keeps behind his gracious heart and watchful eye

And we are but lost Sheep

 On the horizon of sleep

On the edge of defeat

Without him or her

 Whichever you prefer

Whoever you may follow as a part Of the herd

 As a part of the world

 You need a shepherd to lead you home.

Not to say that we are but drones

Cursed to do as others have shown

 But one in a company of many

 All different all exceptional all in need of a shepherds lead

 And bound by that we are sheep searching for
The end
