Zooming

from above—a moderate distance—
earth’s spirit is shrouded in azure grace
her soul is patched with emerald quilts
and peace saturates her sanctified oneness
but moving much closer and deeper—
granularity exposes sharper daggers
judge everyone—confined in nearness
with a lens of earth’s totality—from afar
embrace her hopes of intimate tranquility
into one sanctuary of peace, love, and truth
let us walk together—while she has patience
