Social Security

One can look at the sky
and see all sorts of things.
Forgetting that our sun
is also a nighttime star 
when seen from afar.
Just one more glitter in
fields of endless dark.  All
tiny sparks appearing relatively
the same – little difference from
us governed, a number and
a name.

Na ting is what we see. But if it works...do we have a sane choice? Stranger tings in heaven yet....

Thank you, Sara; a mood piece. Lots of speculation about what Christ meant on the Cross when He said, "Father why has thou forsaken me?" At times in life, very trying times, we can feel alone, small and abandoned. It is human. Normal to even cry out. Probably would be out of touch with feelings not too. And life is no life without feelings. Thank you, my friend. Have a great writing day!
