Orb of the heart
When the center of the
sky was earth,
the movements of planets
and stars
seemed erratic;
calculations difficult and complex.
The sun took over and
flights clicked
more easily into
predictable patterns.
And when the center of
the sky
became a distant,
conjectured,
long-ago point of origin,
the earth,
stars and planets began
to interact
in calculable and precise
ways,
parts of an infinite,
well-oiled machine.
As long as that blue,
stone cold
orb of the heart is taken
to be
the center of the
universe,
every outward movement,
every body spinning
beyond it
will be judged as erratic
and arbitrary,
inexplicable and
incalculable.
O child of God, the truth
makes things
o-so-much-more simple and
clear.
