THE ESCAPE

I met Him again today

When He was preening amongst His peers,

Laughing the laugh that puts terror in our hearts

And hold close to our chest, our dears.


When He spoke it blew icy winds,

Numbing all senss with that tone.

As some scampered for their mackinaws and mittens,

Others drew back in dark corners, left to moan.


I stood there stunned like stone,

Looking up at Him with awe.

His majesic demeanour and flashing eyes

Struck my insignificant self, raw.


But He meant well, this time, He said -

His laugh, for once, had nothing ill to bode.

He smiled His grand forgiving smile once more -

And patted me down the road
