THE CHURCH OF THE EARTH

Here, from deep inside the Church of the Earth
The days are short
With edge-of-spectrum colors
On a bright-light dimmer
Soon to fade into the darkness of crisp, hard stars.

Here, seen clear from afar, from what we call
The Church of the Earth-
Glowing horizon-captains beckon us
Towards the Systems'Capital
Home away from home in these dense ranges,
These open spheres-, unusual manifestations
Sighted from the dark towers of the CHURCH OF THE EARTH.
 


 
Here, in the new Church of the Earth
Culture springs germane-
No new toy, but an aspect profound
Culled from the methods of the Good Old Days-
Beneficial salutationary rays-
And Aquarian interplays-
All overlays in the liturgy of THE CHURCH OF THE EARTH.

For never in the Church of the Earth
Are there scary accidents-
There are no difficult circumlocutions
Or time delays.
The art is instant, and all the drastic limits
Are, at least, debatable
As people roll the number of the beast...
And listen to the end-of-hour choir...
Of the lost rock generations on the radio.


 
And finally, due to our endless outreaches
Here in the Church of the Earth
The winner will be YOU!
The gift of love will miraculously descend
And mankind make a phyllic leap into its own future!

For dust we were, stars we are,
As we proclaim in the coldest December
That time can remember,
In an extended vigil- a litany
Kept perpetually here in the vast underground reaches
Of the CHURCH OF THE EARTH.
