Just as the world tilts forward

Jerking us to a place

We might not want to go

A look around the universe

Tells the fatal truth

We are not alone

Each rotation and revolution

Every step and conversation

A potential right or wrong

Walk that journey discovering

The hope in our neighbor’s eyes

A mirror to our own

About the Creator
