Time and the Prophet
by
Bob MacKenzie
Borne on the storm,
Father before
Followed the ledge -
Thunder his foe,
Lightning his load,
Upward the peaks.
Ever the wind,
Searching for peace
Over the clouds.
Born of the storm.
I am the door
Hung on the edge -
You are my foe,
(What is my load?)
Climbing the peaks.
Ever the wind,
Promising peace
Over the clouds.
