Stars sit in the sky,
planets revolve around them
out of sight of the human eye, at this hour.
Earth revolves around the sun, a star with a name,
that brings heat, warmth, fun, daylight, somewhere at this hour.
We speak of the human condition,
more babies are being born than those that die,
is it me or has all the peaceful air, unspoken promise
left the atmosphere and gone to you know where, at this hour.
Tunneling through the ozone is not the way to get, God in His
artistry with Holy Love the world and creation, to save us, at this hour.
Wait.
Wait a minute.
I have stepped over the line, trying to tell you about the Divine.
I am like a sloth at a speed reading contest when it comes to that.
I am like the only Meercat, kicked out of the family group,
can I get a war whoop of agreement?
You all know where I try to stand,
I make it obvious when ever I can.
So when I am away for a few days,
and may not have any technology to
play
with to stay in touch, miss me please,
cause I already miss all of you.

I may or may not have my tablet or computer with me, but I don't carry a cellphone, wait you have to own one to carry one. I will be in the Kootenays, you might figure out where, play where is Darrell, you know the Waldo game with a real human. I might be writing again after the 01102013, "take your time" they said, "no rush" they said. That is from one of the other not so harmless dark corners of my mind.
