Beautiful and Bright

Beautiful and Bright

A set of arcane thoughts rain
like bits of glass, shards that again
recess into a troubled world,
where days have whirled
into bifurcated voices, actions, and clips.
Gentle people seem to forget their lips
are the source of goodness and grace,
only if one dares to stand and face
with ears alert to listen and hear
the story of another, a clear
approach to bridge the gap of divide
is to let our senses work, lest we not hide
our ears to the stories, or our sight
to the people - beautiful and bright
are all the souls of God's creation.
