while
human beings/less than humble things
are prone to nonsense––
the universe has plenty of time
to set things right––
with or without
them
does one voice matter
when nothing’s
listening?
a single prayer
in an expanding universe––
a photon annunciating
beyond space & time
to be is a murmuring
dulcimer serenading an unconscious
mind
let us
love one another
tenderly heart by heart
whether any
known or unknowable
god
thou shalts us to do so
or not
