The Shepherd

Building, it escalates
       steadily persisting up and over
       encrusted deep beneath the shielded surface.
Minuscule speckles sprinkle the caked dirt
       hollowed caves carved into the deficient surface.
Deeply engraved, harassing all happiness.
Until It pours out, scattering infinite fractures
       as crystalline droplets fall in frayed fragments
       striking the marbled coldness, the surrounding shadow prevails.
Until the beams gather and extend
       radiant against the stark contrast.
Until it embraces.
       encompassing all dejection.
Until He comes home
       and gathers Hid lambs into his cradling arms.
