REED HIDDEN



The basketbound baby Moses

.. hidden within reeds..

awaiting in the bulrushes

his worldchanging destiny

was not



The hunter who waited in his

blind.. in the reeds..

armed with false scents,

false sounds.. mimicking

the call of a mate.. camouflaged

.. with telescopic sight

rifles.. and the gift

of human speech.. planning

.. death not life

to the voiceless innocents.



But God had different plans..

and with hurled lightning bolts

changed forever

the heart of the hunter.
