Easter 7 – Year B

assured we are safe
we proceed into dangerous turf
theirs claimed uniquely theirs

our assurance of safety
all the more dangerous
when spelled infallible

good polls portend election
from whence we change the world
only to wake up unheard of again

safety as sanctity is unsafe
holding its own seed of destruction
perpetually sprouting

believing our own press
we claim eternity
with dusty fingers

to this certainty
we are strangers
who look beyond

not bound by safety nets
swinging trapeze free
glory unbound

a moment above
no matter what's below
flings us forth
