Same Here...



PAD Challenge day 26:For today’s prompt, write a same poem.

Same sky
same sweeping of the
midnight dark awry
to light the same old earth
with that same sun
...pray, tell me why?

The breadth
of an hour does not change,
its tick-tock force
eases these dust-to-dust soul-frames
to God
in its discourse

...and there it is;
the awesome why
and wherefore of it all
This same dark- light
of day and night
Leads to a Great Roll-call
