Heading east of the full moon
Heading far from the light
Heading into the darkness
Heading into the night.
Stealing deep in the woods
Fighting brambles and branches
Packing contraband goods.
Sighting candlelight briefly
Sighting window aglow
Sighting shadow much nearer
Gray shape in the snow
A cloud hides the moonlight
A cloud hides the face
Those steps to the cabin
A formidable race.
No light in the shanty
Dark clouds in the sky
Charge past the lone sentry
Reach safety or die.
Bible smuggler.
