Errant Planet – v5

We are perched,

walking on the edge

of an errant planet;

Off-kilter and dizzy

spinning like a top

wobbling off course

in its orbit, distracted;

Straying from the straight and narrow

the true path, as God intended.

Following baser needs

and primal urges;

Shielding eyes from the glare

the stark light exposing

the echo of memory.

The Word made flesh

the last truth

denied then too;

Christ put to death.
