strobe-whiteness blinds me
obscuring the vision
revealed by prophet and priest
and i grasp at straws
obscuring my vision
i beg to idolize manifestation
and i grasp at straws
terrified by witnesses
begging to idolize manifestation
revealed by prophet and priest
terrified by the witness
strobe-whiteness blinded me
He did not know what to say, for they were terrified.

How wonderfully, perfectly you wrote about the disciples’ terror in being questioned. How well we can all identify with that reaction, given the circumstances!
Can you imagine? Talk about shaking in your sandals!!! 🙂 Great job!
