Our days are full as we journey long
Anticipating in the freedom of choice�
Joy lumbers in our presence of clean waters,
air, and comfort�
Thoughts betray sexual intimacies as
we cover our nakedness�



Tears are shed on tragedies reflect our griefs selfishly�
Hiding behind the safety of our homes we wait�
Looking for news in new found hope of peace�
Embracing lost religions we search our souls�



Finding reasons to peer upward at the Creator�
Linking ourselves to Gods we claim we serve�
Asking for new revelations,
searching for timely answers�
Clinging to salvation and resurrection�



The seasonal clock changes
as the days are shortened...
Hearts yearn in despair,
tears dim our eyes, and fears pound our heads�
Lips tremble with aching utterance�
