I stand

Looking from the outside in

“Do not be a part of the world”

They said             it’s full of sin

Little do they know

 

I am

The planet orbiting their star

And every degree travelled

Brings me to where you are

 

But the problem is not me,

The problem is you.

Through each motion

There casts a clearer point of view:

 

To see quite perfectly

Where lies dust

From where lies dirt;

That from whence came meaning

Is not of death

But of birth

 

So that in all things

I will not give up the fight,

Until you can convince me

That what I’m orbiting is light
