“I’d Freeze Too”
The dark forest’s empty echo sounded in my ears
to a crossroad I came; black tar pitched
along once soft ground–
No grass here-
But across!
Across I knew of the sweet grass,
I knew of the gentle stream,
I knew of the joy and goodness.
I leapt.
Loud and blaring, I heard God’s call to me
Two great suns beamed, I saw God’s image
‘Tis the rapture, the great coming.
So I stared
Awe and reverence
Overwhelming my hooves
I stopped
Waiting for my God to
take me home.
