-Listen to the sounds of silence!-

Our earth spins

in the black abyss of space,

held in place by gravity's force

and lit by a blazing sun.

A horde of humans strive here

in this planet's wee dominion.

Whirling orbs of light,

we are souls bound to

a blue and cloud-banked world

suffering agonies of the damned--

so many trapped within

a fog of unmet yearnings.

Our earth spins

in a black abyss of greed--

yet we keep the faith

it is held by grace--

and lit by the love

of God's Son.

December 1991
