Windows
H. Dale Ledford 1963 (N.C.)
Into the whirlwind with the witches stride.
To walk with the ghost on the shimmering side.
Sorrow drenched souls, one touch and they're lost.
Through windows of time, splintered by frost.
In the burning sand tunnel vision blurs.
Odd feelings of doom begin to stir.
Yet through the pane such sweet release.
In the presence of GOD. Perfection. Peace.
So listen old witch. This whirlwind won't last.
Already the future's entwined with the past.
As the sun turns to blood and melts from the sky.
Remember the whirlwind that was you and I.
