Migration

“The Migration”

Awesome it is –

a movement monumental –

fleeing oppression,

fleeing violence,

fleeing homeland

     and culture comfort.

Why?

We see the injustice

laying on the surface

like oil on water.

But that is what we see

with our eyes.

There is more –

Ask them what they see

with the eyes of their spirit ---

Perhaps they sense it,

perhaps not.

But there is something more---

They are moving

the best of their culture

to preserve it,

even if it appears

as oil on water,

or beans growing

among the corn.

Can you sense it?

It is coming ---

A great change.

And these souls,

fearful of merely

losing their lives,

are saving a Life

worth living.

For no more shall their homeland be –

Soon – just a hole in the earth

so big,

our eyes in space

will see it clearly

from their far-off balcony,

so high above

our blue home.

What will survive?

How shall we live?

Who will establish –

--- a new culture?

--- a new Life?

--- a new God?
