Failed Species?

A POEM

By Ralph Wright, O.S.B. | July-August 1984

For twenty million years or more

This planet fed the Dinosaur.

It makes you sit a while and think

How soon young Man may be extinct.

But though he turn this chip of star

To ash touched from some fine cigar

When all the galaxies are dark

Man still will reign who shares God’s heart.

Faith

Trellised clouds upwards towards

earth’s moon

Set within a night-dome

of…

When Angels Danced

When angels danced on heads of pins

The ways of men were means not ends;

…

Compassion

Ice in the spirit

Is but frozen tears

And bitterness

Is expectation killed.
