Strolling into The New Colossus
Shouldering unbearable, heavy crosses
The multi-faceted Liberty proclaims
And with lips pursed, hushes disdain
Contending with the articulated prophetic word
Challenged to walk until of one accord
Can these burdens be carried
By a ”brazen giant” so harried
Crying from depths unknown
Piloting the vulnerability shown
Acquainting with the impending insurrection
War-torn hearts needing direction
Forced welcome of the indecision
Relying on the daily mission
Thereby left with the interrogative
Realizing self’s prerogative
In that space of experimentation revealed
Is a prayer answered, a soul healed
There Haven for “tempest-tost”
A desire to truly count that cost
Refuge there with open arms
Giving plans to prosper and not to harm
