-- The Order of Things --

John Herlihy

I put my trust in the order of things,

Individual steps of destiny life brings.

Out of eternity into moments of time,

Born into the life that I claim as mine.

The earth on its axis, leaning to the sun,

The star galaxies swirl, from light spun.

Life’s course an arrow with me as bow,

Mind filled with light, the body shadow.

While somewhere within, soul ground,

My seed planted, my growth profound.

Mystery lies everywhere, my mind to fill,

While the heart beats steadily and still.

This mystery of life uncertainty brings,

So I put my trust in the order of things.
