post (america's) civil war




samuel's experience

 

samuel's horrors witnessed in battle

and committed 

sent him into an underworld of darkness

 

his church   built by his hands

and others 

in their small community

 

is testament   testament to what

to the vision

that each carries   a vision

 

much like the reading of a poem

unique

in interpretation   as pastor

 

samuel guides   never preaches

is there

with each step of each journey   

 

knowing darkness may be very dark

never s0 dark that there cannot be light
