I got the inspiration for this poem a few weeks ago and finally got to write it down. It turned out a bit different than I originated but I like where it ended up. Poetry is not my forte' but I do enjoy writing it every now and then. I hope you like it! And remember it's just a rough draft lol
The Messenger
Who's child is that?
She who runs with small legs of innocence
Through the crowd of eyes that overlook.
Her hand holds onto not another,
But she does not harbor fear.
Eyes of the sun,
Eyes of the Son.
Watching her movements so complete with mirth
Gazing at every giant that recognizes her invisibility.
They pass her by.
Who's child is that?
She who's face mirrors He whom I disowned.
The man, the Son, Jesus.
Her eyes like the warm earth,
So gentle, so warm
She extends her arms, suddenly aware of her desolation.
With each face of refection, desperation grows.
Her small voice doesn't catch an ear
My feet carry me closer, drawn to her angst.
No other eye pays a notice.
Stroking her curls, a softness unworldly,
I take her hand with calloused fingers.
She watches me, calming with my presence.
"Where are your parents?" I ask this girl so angelic.
The tears stem their flow.
"My Father wanted me to find you", is her reply.
"He misses you." I wonder at her words
Brow furrowed in concentrated perplexity, I blink,
And she is gone.
My fist still clenched, the warmth of her palm remains.
Vanished as a ghost, and not a person witnessed the escape.
Wonderment grips a tight told,
Disbelief rains in my soul.
And as I turn to leave, I force my mind on earthly things,
Once again shunning the Messenger.
