OUR SONG OF HOPE

We greet you with a joy so intense
like one gets from seeing a brilliant sunrise.

Our lives are as stars in the cosmos
each twinkling with its own unique splendor,
some becoming meteors descending in decay
till crashing and leaving behind a crater of sadness.

Others are more like comets,
streaking across the skies of our existence,
brilliant and bedazzling,
passing too quickly,
but leaving behind a trail you never forget.

Upon our small blue planet
life abounds in a plethora of expressions,
which we watch and care for from our cubed domains
clustered in constellations of communal twinkle.

Yet, we do not reside in perfection
some only seek the darkness of night to hide their ways,
while others march into the day
that we might be inspired by their illumination.

With this greeting goes our hope and invitation
to come and share all we are
uniting as part of the same celestial majesty,
perhaps bringing to us
a way to revive from what eclipses of suffering.
have shadowed over our reality.

Joining us in peace and a chance
to be one in the universe of being.
