"Broken Stones on Crooked Roads"

5/31/2023

by Brian G. Daigle

​Broken stones on crooked roads 
Under feet with calloused toes,
Hold up brittle body and bones. 
Inside sits a heart of gold;
Atop, a cathedral of stone. 

No pot hole swallows.
No stumble thwarts. 
No ache inhibits the journeyman. 
Neither do storms rattle transcendent faith.

Clear skies do smother 
A memory full of “It will be well,” 
Engulfing a sun to orient eyes blazed. 

Lively songs in chorus round 
Companions ragged but true. 

“Rage or Sing,” the Muse once offered your plot.

"At the Threshold"

by Brian G. Daigle
At the threshold I wait for thee,
              the one who is not surprised,
              the one who foresaw its scope and size,
              the one who placed it before my eyes.
 
At the threshold I look to thee,
              the one who neither trembles nor fears,
              the one who sees every drop of tear,
              the one toward whom my vessel steers.
 
At the threshold I worship thee,
              the one who is my saving door,
              the one who is my ever-filled store,
              the one who portal-cross did bore.
 
At the threshold I pray to thee,
              the one who opens heaven’s gates,
              the one who took on human state,
              the one whose blood does saturate.
 
At the threshold I sing to thee,
              the one whose song did precede,
              the one whose tune fills every need,
              the one who is our eternal creed.
 
Through the threshold I walk toward thee,
              the one who held the thresh for me.
