All my world-changin instincts have been surgically altered.

"Change the World"

("And when starving young ravens cry out to Me for food, do you satisfy
their hunger?" Job 38:41)

You told me you were going to change the world;

so I took a walk to the river bank

and found the shells the seagulls dropped

to taste the sweet inside.

You told me you were going to change the world;

so I waited by the clearing

where the doe and her fawn

nibble the roseleaves and raspberry twigs.

You told me you were going to change the world;

so I watched above the water

and saw the eagle hover between the blue

with breakfast dangling from its beak.

Watching,

mark p.
