Thou, Thee, and Me



Cloudward gazing on grassy bed,
As air anoints my brow with dew,
And  pining groans into the sky,
A world of pain within my head,
This longing aches that all be new,
An earnest prayer lags to a "why?"
Oh Thou.

This lavish loveliness all about,
Such beauty breaks into my soul,
And tearing eyes stare at the sun,
My quiet sigh rises to a shout,
Incongruous beauty enacts a toll, 
My praying tears before the one, 
To thee.

Yet in these times,  all seems lost.
Sons and daughters cast to the Baals,
The meaning of persons — eclipsed.
As ozone and sprites bear the cost,
Love and dust like weight on scales,
Such anomie–vertigo in betwixt,
'Ah me.
