Askance

At the last beam of light
And fixing fire
For the doldrums
We were breaking Bread
On the last days of irving
And in our history
Sounding off to wisdom
Declared inactive
And heuristically seeking
What was to be seen
But a ball of Earth
Bloodletted,
For Martian battle
And wind of sedges
For things toward us
Earth return,
We had the red planet,
In subtle caves
Right back to the orbit
It was just the beginning
As our trees died in the sun
And especially stunned
At the shore and the seas
But what is this light
On our speeding ship
Fortunes to dare-
Reprising the end of dreams
Unwilling captain,
A Canadian, naturally
Played verses of time,
And obliterations,
Deliberate at dawn
We sought Peter
And his Holy Church
Fed to lions, and earthhelp
Especially barren,
Outresting our Mass
Snowing by our poppies
With what to renew
But being deported
Without cause

God Bless the beautiful Earth
For Holy Hour is love
And a precipice of new beginnings
New saints
And new homes
Far from there
And we were NASA
And believed in God
