Errant Planet – v4

We are perched,

walking on the edge

of an errant planet,

lost in space

off-kilter and dizzy

wobbling off course

in its orbit, spinning

straying from the way

the straight and narrow

the true path, planned,

from the beginning

following baser wants

and primal urges

for eternal life

shielding eyes from the glare

stark light exposing

the flaws, the truth

of the echo, the memory

the Word made flesh

the last real truth

denied then too
