SereneIt was an evening when the sun had passed behind the hillBut a cloud stood straight above And cast the sun yet through the leaves, And lit the sky with an amber glow As all the leaves of variant species, Stood still within this realm of beauty. There was no sound from man or beast to bid no doubt. That man and nature still adhere To the laws that God made clear. | A Foe Too StrongA seed has fallen to the groundFrom an apple that sustained a hungry bite I could have cast it out of destiny to grow Instead the beauty I wanted to behold Of a seed so small and delicate as this So I found a bed of soil from which it might Stand a chance to spread its limbs in light Weeks past, and though the sun was naught The seed a mighty battle fought I thought, no chance was there for seed Or man or beast or bush After rain and hail and sleet and snow A green trace of life I did behold, It's head still bowed to the soil in thanks And I remember many seeds I cast aside They will never raise their heads in light Nor will any man know that they too had a chance After the tree and blossom and bee and me. | Can We UnderstandOh God of all the suffering and pain,Are you envious to have given us the freedom of choice And the feelings of relief? The bounty of treasure in life, in living and learning? Do you understand our yearning, when we deal ourselves A hand that destroys all emotional feeling? Do you understand that we are but earthlings? How great your intelligence to allow us to play our Games, and to kill in our wars. Only one who knows the rewards, could allow such Pain and killing. Give us the sight oh God to see what we are doing! Is it the struggle that gives us meaning? Are we able to prove that we deserve your heaven? |
