The Road To Damascus Poem by Okim Otu

The Road To Damascus

Rating: 5.0


Songs of redemption
inspired by grace
sang across all hills
cought up ears
of sheep once lost
on the road to damascus
a place of gloom
where light is dimmed
a land that's doom
yet proudly unashamed

Reconciliation
on one's own terms
devoid of compulsion
freely offered.
Rise from your slumber
take this bull's horn
go the street called straight
and make yourself one
with those who alas
dances to the redemption song.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Damascus here represent the place of persecution and suffering, the road to damascus is the place of reconciliation, the 'straight' street is the midst of brethrens that helps you grow in faith.
