Taking Stock

 


Taking Stock

- Jeff Weddle (U.S.A.)

One light against the final dark

one nail to save a broken gate

 

one promise to salvage hope 

one dog to weigh my couch to the floor

 

one bottle to soften betrayal 

one love to bind me to this world

 

one covenant shattered

one sin unforgiven

 

one missed path

one secret remaining 

 

one book left unread 

one poem still to write 

 

one last hard question 

one impossible way home
