A Sabbath Poem (Moreau)
RECAST THE EARTH
~ by Robert F. Moreau
Do you have any wild hopes,
Or tame ones for that matter?
The possibility of acorns becoming towering oaks,
Or caterpillars blossoming into butterflies,
Or that dawn will cast away midnight fears?
Wild hopes!
That all creation will learn the dance of joy,
And all humanity might taste the wine of peace,
And that our loving God will become transparent
Through our love.
“Recast the earth, O Lord,
And move our hearts with wild hopes!”
