Shaking The Dust From Off Their Feet
He asked them point blank
why they didn't stop by anymore.
At first they responded politely
that they'd been awfully busy,
but would certainly be calling
one of these days real soon.
Pressed, they spewed it out:
Despite their efforts
to care and to comfort,
he refused to see
any stars in his dark skies.
The community could no longer stay
waiting for his eyes to see,
but had to continue, as always,
in search of Light.
You know, they said,
where you can find us.
