[Leaters]

In Search of Progress


Looking up I saw
the moon visible by
reflected light was
its craters and scars

Pummeled by celestial
debris over the years
its dusty surface
became marred

For so long have I
orbited the Son whose
light illumines all
my dusty parts

And there is revealed
the darkness and wounds
as witnessed by the
healing scars

With he vision of this
present temple
redeeming truth was
seldom recognized

In the guise of the lowly
and commonplace
nor the present help
towards the dying cries

Oh the pain of deceptive wounds
a purpose realized
so much later
than soon

Charting my pathway
to godliness
in my mirror
I saw the moon
