Shepherd of One

Born fragile,

every word

against him

cracked his

confidence,

so he

armored himself

with layers

and layers,

of thickened,

smothering

skin, so

the jabs

didn’t cut,

the slurs

didn’t bruise,

and the

poisonous

hatred wouldn’t

sink in,

yet while

keeping out

the world,

he found

himself alone,

forgotten

with only

his oboe

silent within,

until God

who adores

the always

remembered

fragile, appeared

and created

a new,

unique song

especially for

him

to call

through the

veils muting

his psalm’s

send.
