Center of the Mass

Oh setting sun held high
above each one’s horizon
and place of return.
 
Oh rising Son lifting us
to heavenly sky
toward you we yearn
 
Omega of all our beginnings
and Alpha of all our ends
Son of our Father
and lover of friends
 
Our deeds and our past
we place on your altar at last
and lay our Selves at your feet
where East-West meet.
 
(1990s)

    Most poems in  Volume  2   regard human efforts transformed by Gifts from God which seem more like revelations than efforts of human construction.
