Cosmologic

amidst panic and chaos I'm soaring in orbit,
miles upon miles above earth's surface,
far distanced from sickness and hardships,
deplorable wars and racial injustice,
all I can see is one planet united,
and land without borders

one side blessed with light,
the other set in darkness,
one half full of blue skies,
one adorned with radiating night-time neon lights,
and endless starry wonders

from deep blue seas to celadon forests,
mountains steep,
volcanoes seething with heat,
windswept plains alive in the wake of dust amassing behind galloping horses,
we all feel the same joy,
the same pain,
yet we do our best to ignore it.

looking down from my spaceship it seems silly at best;
the conquest for power at other's expense,
but then, again, getting along has and will always be boring

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to PS. Meanwhile, I welcome you with the love of God. According to John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.

Thank you, Beata, for the beautiful words. I too wish that you'll be embraced by the universal powers which are love and hope on our shared journey toward balance and tranquillity.
