Malchus

 

Beyond the sky there is a world

I feel but canot see

Beyond appearance and disguise

Beneath the shining sea

*

So many things deflect my gaze

Grace, beauty, want and need

So many scenes, so many ways

Cajole, excite and plead

*

Between dark alleys and bright fields

And steps that fall and rise

There are important books to read

of wonders and surprise

*

But still, beyond the screen there is

Some other, other Thing

That I can't know but can perceive

The Daughter of the King
