The Eighth Gone Astray
Seven dark prodigals approached in the night,
saying: "One has escaped and
journeyed into the light"
Seven dark prodigals with shadows now gone,
longed for he who had left them,
-for he who was strong
Seven dark prodigals wandered the dark,
no safety in numbers,
in search of their heart
"We must look till he's found," I heard two of them say,
seven sins unforgiven,
-the eighth gone astray
(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2017)
