Whisperings
Of time squandered
Opportunities not grasped
Of the indifference of friends
The betrayal of family
Love gone awry.
From the edge of things comes whispering too
Crushing humiliation
Nurturing new seeds of time
Of new comrades
Indifferent to pettiness
` Carrying the hope of a people yet to be
Singing a new beatitude
Of the resurrection of all people wherever forever.

2. Out here the flora scent is overpowering,
All opposition becalmed
By beauty so complete,
So
sweet.
As the dark clouds gallop by at dawn
And the sun unfolds in her grandeur
So your presence dispels doubts
And instills certainty
That this too is forever.
For in you I see a rhythm of time
Indifferent to woes that so easily eclipse hope.
In you I see a cadence of sensuous glow
That bespeaks of calm assurance
That calls forth a new algorithm of hope—
Our progeny indifferent to tribe
That base instinct of the herd
Indifferent to Religion
Sanctuary for duplicity;
Indifferent to Temples
Epitomes of conceit.
Only the pure heart
shall Proclaims
Love
Hope
Redemption.
