How Long Before…
How long before the
wolf cries again?
The mountain rises?
The seas replenish?
The answer cowers
beneath a shadow of doubt.
How long before the
peregrine’s eggs heal?
The tiger roams free?
The elephant tusk grows?
The answer hovers
Near for those who see.
How long before the
freedom of the sky fails?
The air we breathe fails?
The rains dry up?
The answer depends
on you and me and God.
The stars and sun
The solar system and galaxy
depends on faith alone.
We are so small,
so small…
