Together

We all like sheep have gone astray

Out here in the hills

This wilderness surrounds and we bleat into the dark

Prints in the mud that track our steps

Each cloven foot that wanders

Tracing

Trails in the mist

Sheep and shepherd share the dance

One behind the other

Call and response

The tattered fabric of union

Across the crags where we fled

A hand upon the thread

Follows into the deep

Songs in the shadows

Sheep and shepherd share the language

One behind the other

Call and response

Welcomed to the table

Stealing the bread

Crumbs on our mouths and in our wake

Hunger in the bones

Sheep and shepherd share the ache

One behind the other

Call and response

Steps follow

Patience

We've left his side

But not his heart
