In the Urgency of the Moment

No time to wait
the consequences severe
the choice to follow
something very clear

In the urgency of the moment
leaving all behind
going when we are called
to the shepherd’s voice cleaving

Leaving into a future
no place to rest your head
leaving all behind
letting the dead bury the dead
