Vague thoughts
racing through my mind
as the aspen leaves
twinkle in the wind.
Silence
A love that conquers hate,
justice that rises above greed,
joy that is triumphant over sadness.
Silence
Tragedy,
suffering,
pain,
betrayal,
lamentations,
that descend and are hurled
about by the waves
of a turbulent sea.
Silence
Syrian children scurrying about
like hamster in a hamster cage
as their numbers decline
due to deliberate elimination
by humans.
Silence
Children are in cages,
children are in cages,
children are in cages,
children are in cages.
Silence
Aids,
plagues,
pandemics,
holocausts,
xenophobia,
these too are life.
Silence
The dark is where God
does most of God's
best work.
