Sojourns

save where goodness denies it .

Sometimes earthy, sometimes aesthetic, "Sojourns" is about troubled souls,

Long was I in wanting rest,

To know the fair surcease

As may be found in innocence .

about turning points,

Had I seen her countenance

With eyes less preened in violence .

and about choices,

The path you walk is amply wide,

But you alone may choose the stride

That ventures forth or turns aside.

In "Sojourns," Munro melds conflict and resolution together to form a determined quest for spiritual grace and dignity,

In aspect, soft and still .

and reminds us of the oft forgotten admonition,

"And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him."

-Leviticus 19:33
