A Foolish Creation


The sun gossips.
I eavesdropped to hear this scorching vixen say,
“Earth’s inhabitants and the catastrophe!”
“They are wild and insignificant.”
“They are unfortunate and without fire.”
“They will not last.”


She is cruel and relentless in her hushed speech.
She secretly hates them with lava heat.


The sun pleasurably listens to the moon’s scandalous talk.
"These beings are infinitesimal and the ugliest of art.”
“They are foolish and ephemeral.”
“They don’t know their insignificance.”

 These two globes are a pair of conspirators.
A pair of cataclysmic companions who know our final day.  

 The stars listen to this intrigue.
They say very little in our defense.
They are enthralled spectators in this cosmos conversation.

 Suddenly, the greater universe breaks into the conversation to say,


“Sun, you are lonely because you will never know love.”
“Moon, you have nothing to hold.”
“Stars, you are spineless and cold.”
“These humans are His and you have been fooled.”

Her

 Church is loud and hidden. Full of praise, unprecedented resilience. She bites an apple, then walks into an eternal city. She rests on Sabbath, then battles ignorance. Strong and faulted, given grace and Jerusalem walls. She hides her beauty while Jesus peers significant.

Unstable

 The clouds are unstable So too are the waves But my faith is stable, solid. Rally and debate is unstable. Fire and Water too. But, God hold us safe.

Shy Suicide

Disclaimer: This poem was inspired by someone else's struggle with suicide. Don't worry I am not suicidal. Suicide, why do you hide beneath my white skin? Suicide, why do use my fake smile for your sin? Suicide, why do you keep your cover until the rope is tight, the trigger is pulled, the pills are swallowed, the wrists slit? A black phantom behind my face. A dark word behind my lips. A night in my day. Suicide, why do you ensnare all my companions? They didn’t know. They didn’t see. They didn’t recognize who had overtaken me. You left a message on paper; they read in disbelief. Suicide, you are shy, and yet you have the audacity to kill me.
