Dangerous

He is coming.
Swiftly, like an axe falling,
Making low the tallest trees.
He is coming.

He is coming,
Dangerous, like a lion,
Tearing the folds in two.
He is coming.

He called to me late last night,
And I was glad to hear him.
He called to me with a voice
Like my father’s father,
And I was glad to hear him.

He is coming.
Ferocious, like a friendly beast,
Bearing his teeth.
He is coming.

He is coming.
Loudly, like a trumpet sound,
Lifting up the lowly deep.
He is coming

And I am glad to hear him.
