shallow wastelands
by Elouise
Flat earth theory
bodes ill for spiritual vision
reducing God’s glory
the grandeur of creation
and deep shadows of history
to shallow wastelands
of pseudo-patriotic myth
Give us eyes and hearts to see into
this bare outline of a country
populated and interwoven with texts
and subtexts lying open to us the people –
old-timers and newcomers charged with moving
beyond treacherous monochromatic vision
into the aching depths of our discontent

very deep E ❤ sometimes I wonder if some will just make it to the edge and fall off 🙂 I wish that for no one…but it is a strange world we find ourselves in these days, I keep sending out the peace vibes and know the like energy will feel it, keep on keeping on and keeping the faith ❤
