By Ken Allen Dronsfield

 

In this world of heartless consumption

waste of human life to the whipsaw;

children shot dead while at recess

never did so little mean so much

then when two deer in a field

saw you and you saw them

nothing else mattered…

as neither blinked.

self-righteous take aim.

the pious obey at the sight

non-believers glare but afraid

Little flakes of shimmering light,

Admiring all in the wafting shade,

Stars peek and rave in the delight;

stellar was how a twilight was made,

As all eyes peer at the lightened cross.
