Physics of Faith

Strange how the joy comes
Praise born
Attempts to snatch my peace
Thwarted by a song

Seeking Your face
So hard, so rewarding
My whole heart You say
And nothing less
A small price to pay I know
And yet too much to do alone

Only through You can I give what You ask
Only through Your life can I live, move, be
The illusion of self-sufficiency easily believed

Until the world shatters
Until  the electrons stop spinning
Until decay moves past recovery
And nothing is but You

The World

So many questions
So many needs
So few answers
So much greed
So little time
So great the speed
So near the edge
So far it seemed

The News

When the crunch comes
As inevitably it does
We’ll be ready

Many little crunches led to this
And what’s one more?
Just another crisis
One more disaster to brush aside

Misery is mundane
Living hell, ho-hum
A television drama
Someone’s idea of fun

The starving faces
The mushroom clouds
Images of dreamtime
Unreal
Unwanted
Unseen

Insignificance

I was wondering…
Possibly
If you don’t mind
Do you see?

If it wouldn’t put you out
Could you…
Well could I…
That is to say
If it’s no bother
I don’t want to cause a fuss

Oh forget it
Never mind
It’s not important
I’ll be fine

Blurred Vision

The focus
Centred in loneliness
Unchosen role
Circumstantially inherited
No fault, no blame
To lay.
It happens
Understood
Though unaware of understanding
Learn to live
Focus to focus
Forgetting that the next
Is not so sharp
Perishing
