Poem
If the rubik’s cube was round And the earth was square We’d all be living different lives Sharing a different time There would be another tune in the air And our hearts would sing a new song Would we be aware of the change When the change made us swap From being tied to our selfish desires To being tied to altruistic dreams Would we discover the hearts we know Are flowing with emerald or cerulean blood Instead of the crimson flow we’ve known Brought our hearts the lifeforce If the rubik’s cube was round And time was going in reverse, backing up We’d all be living in another year Without troubles, pains or fears to heed We’d have different ideas, new thoughts Our dreams wouldn’t reach beyond the touch Of our souls where they would still go To discover the answers to prayers, to petitions Appeals for joy, hope and love That defies the odds and meets us with Assurance that our lives are worthwhile We’re living a life that God meant for us to live When He created us and breathed into us The air that would lift us up to believe in Him If the rubik’s cube was round And the goals we have were lost in the moment If hearts were filled with feelings so absurd And souls were melting with melancholic worry We’d reach toward the faith we hold so dear And discover the answer to our worst fears Are found in giving from the heart, without dread All the feelings that cause us to flourish, move ahead The love and compassion, the strength and wisdom The enthusiasm that comes from abiding in grace And feeling so alive that the dance of life heals All the fright and horror that come from knowing Disillusionment and sorrow, the concerns that wreck The tomorrows with all the sadness and grief The mourning of hearts who have gone on to be Filled with joy from knowing that, despite the worst There is hope, there is love, there is more Than our hearts could have dreamed of If the rubik’s cube was round And the spirit knew doubt as a friend instead of woe There would be the chance to see a sparkle lighting Up the eyes with emotion that comes from knowing Penetrating truth, the word, the Son, the ONE Who makes all the rubik’s cubes square And all the world, round – while making love The answer to every heartfelt prayer! With God – the world is as it should be And rubik’s cubes are square, a cube Unlike the earth, round, a ball If they trade places, we will all know The meaning of foul play, disgrace, scandal That comes when hope falls away And love leaves you cold, without a plan Rubik’s cubes live in a box and even though it sometimes helps in this particular moment it’s best not to think outside the box If the Rubik's cube was round Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Kai Michael Neumann December 30, 2020
