Wilderness Journey, Day 18

House of Peace

purple is a royal color

portending existence of ease
with banks of servants to follow
every urge in a house of peace

if every day was just alike

with food and drink in calm retreat
no enemies about to strike
or intrigues in the house of peace…

but, days do differ, so it seems

foes come with plans in hand to cease
royal desires and kingdom dreams
they strive to ruin the house of peace

his strength underestimated

is wielded through his purple fleece
the Lamb comes forth vindicated
resurrecting God’s house of peace…
