the plight of the lily


ONE day we will understand
what our minds here failed
to comprehend

HOW each grain of sand
holds an ocean full of water


HOW the sky is tightly
fastened between earth and
heaven


AND yet of all these things
so high and mighty
I sometimes fear

THEN I am reminded
in spite of mans cruel hate
the flight of the bird never
hesitates


AND from a long winter’s night
the plight of the lily still
struggles in her search for light

AND when in my darkness
for lack of sun

IN time LIGHT will surely come!
