A medium-sized blackbird
Floated through some barely
Moving clouds. I looked at the
Trees. There was some movement
But mostly, they lingered in a
Quiet mode. Waves were moving
In a slow, methodical pace.
I thought how nice it would be
If the whole world could follow
This example. Too many things
Going on at quickness that
Provokes others, either persons
Or nations. Too much ambition
To control rather than serve others.
This never lasts for long. Soon there
Is war and ruined nations and in the
End what was gained? The precepts
Given to us by Jesus are so easy to
Follow, especially when we are
Assisted by the Holy Spirit. Too many
Fail to apply critical thinking to
This concept so, consequently we
Have war, feuds, and chaos in our
Hands to deal with when things could
Be running smooth like the bird gliding
Through the slow-moving clouds.
