The dove finding nowhere to perch.
Returned to him in the ark.

Noah was a hero , we remain in our church.

Quite often in the metaphorical dark.

We are surrounded by the flood waters.

Of silent indifference.

Even from sons and daughters.

But we take heart in endurance.

Noah lifted  back the hatch of the ark.

The surface of the ground was dry.

Perhaps for us the future is not too stark.

Disbelief and disinterest have met their high.

And so unsighted we look for the shore .

Whether we will find it, we are not sure.

……

The floods around us

Of indifference rising

Will one day soon fall
