Gathered Lamb (Poem)

Here is a short, 46 word poem that I wrote in the form of a triolet based on the Biblical text of Isaiah 40:11.  A triolet has the rhyming structure of A-B-a-A-a-b-A-B  Enjoy.

Gathered Lamb

Nuzzling ’gainst His priestly chest,

That chest which bears my name,

There I’m yoked in blessed rest.

Nuzzling ’gainst His shepherd’s chest

There I dream.  My wounds are dressed.

There He holds my bleating frame.

Nuzzling ’gainst His beating chest,

That chest which bears my name.
