Miracle Needed

Groaning for rescue,
the whole world drifts
like a raft of refugees
on such a sea of night
that shore and sunrise
are not relevant concepts.

Although
you could correctly claim it’s night
only in one Hemisphere,
that would be missing the point.

This darkness
seeps through everything,
including day.

Where’s the man
who walks on water
though the darkness?

We need him now.
