Right—Ovi Poetry Challenge

They left what’s wrong to darkened night
to rise and follow living light.
The way was narrow, true, but right.
That’s how they made it home.

Forsaking gods of mountains, trees,
of roiling, windy, mindless seas,
they listened through the silent breeze
and served the living LORD.

Ronovan Hester offers the word “right” as inspiration for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted at Poet’s Corner.

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
