In the Noose

Man is noosed in a rabbit
snare, anxious to be about his
business, busy-busy.
Transitions, places to go
deals to make
and now the noose has
taken hold

if only he had spent more time
sharing supper with family
and friends, too late,
oh no, not.

Pry yourself loose and
debate the issues — lean on the
Lord and encourage those
who love you and your
birthright will be an accolade
of bright colours.
