Friday Thoughts

Friday Thoughts
By BR Chitwood
*
Quietness absorbs me,
Creating a solemnity of hope,
The mountain South outside my window
Shows off its bronze splendor,
Canopied with a powder-blue sky –
A bronze giant monolith
Of jutting rock and desert growth…
Upon all this I numbly listen
To the silence of God’s beauty,
Pondering the nature of
Good and Evil,
The uneven, diverse voices
Of Earth’s old and young,
Forming their calculations and causes
For prevailing issues
That change, grow, and cumulate.
What and where is the elixir
That can remedy the network
Of thoughts’ cross currents?
Must we grow a civilization of
Smiling Robots who always respond
To a magical quiescent push
Of an electronic button?
Peace? War? What happens next?
So much to ponder as I
Stare at the beauty of the
Mountain and clear blue sky,
All glowing in the desert Sun.
