sadness in the dust

standing at the edge of town
lost, feeling rejected, ignored
their word denied,
their witness to the Lord.
sadness in the dust,
falling from their sandals
an indictment, a prayer
a hope for the nations
that somehow the seeds will spout
one day to find good soil
until then to their fate
striving only to be faithful.
