The Call
I walk a dark road
fraught with danger.
Robbers ride past me
with boomity-boom radios,
and the moon reveals my silhouette
to evil men lurking behind trees.
But around the bend,
as shadows fall thick around me,
a soft glow of red, yellow, and royal blue
light up a stained glass window.
The friendly colors shine steady
into the night
and blend into a sacred shape
that calls me into a House of Prayer.
