The Bible Smuggler


Heading east of the full moon 
Heading far from the light
Heading into the darkness
Heading into the night.




Stealing over a footpath
Stealing deep in the woods
Fighting brambles and branches
Packing contraband goods.



Sighting candlelight briefly
Sighting window aglow
Sighting shadow much nearer
Gray shape in the snow



A cloud hides the moonlight
A cloud hides the face
Those steps to the cabin
A formidable race.



No light in the shanty
Dark clouds in the sky
Charge past the lone sentry
Reach safety or die.

Bible Smuggler
