garment of despair


too long a companion
as a foreign war correspondent
known by the trench coat
out in the field, the nations

too long a garment of despair
heavy on his shoulders
worn in every season
wearing his body down

cast off in that moment
the Spirit speaking in power
through her to him
in love, in prophecy

let go of the demons
the companions of the past
given them over to Him
walk in God’s light

God’s purpose spoken
words of commission
not needing that garment, heavy
freed to do the work
