Religious admonitions
involve recognition of
some abiding truth about
the welfare of all people
followed by the reminder
to trust truth enough to mind
its light on life’s plight, delight.
Just so, life is short, one’s death
can come on the moment’s spur:
here, now . . . when least expected—
so each one must come to see
through the eye of everyone
so to feel from the heart’s depths
the way to the commonwealth.
