The significant

After Psalm 15

The glory of a life

we strive for, be it

power, or reputation,

or retribution, or wealth,

or fame, or justice,

or recognition, this is

the substance, the meaning

of who we are, the winds

we chase, the gods

we worship. We see

what gives us meaning,

and we call it 

the significant. Yet

off stage,

off stage, voice sing,

not to us,

not to us.
