Marbles

Some say that the gods

Are ever at play,

That the planets roll out,

At random or in game;

That the rising and the fall,

In the breathing of the day,

Moves from a heartless chest,

And a life devoid of divine intelligence.

But I know other-wise.

I have witnessed first,

That God named Christ,

I've seen His Love,

As Life realized,

I've seen His Mind in all good things;

And when I've tired,

Of the antagonists' plight,

When nonsense speaks,

And the stupid make quiet,

When good souls are suppressed,

By this evil contest,

I go to Him.
