Conscience


Deep in the dark
of the wind-thrashed tree
a rasping voice calls to me,
demanding I see
what I cannot see.  

The tree's dark core
deep shade obscures,
and try as I might,
I'm blinded by night 
descending.  

Yet still it calls, insistent and
shrill, when sudden silence
my aching heart fills
with cold 
apprehension.   

Oh Lord, whom have I 
offended?
