Poem July 24, 1976 Issue

SAFETY

Barbara L. Kelly

No corroding condemnation
gnaws or nibbles
when compassion and forgiveness
form the pitch of mercy
to seal the ark within.

The waters of world belief
spume and surge in vain
where redemption and atonement
form the pitch of restoration
to seal the ark without.

Barbara L. Kelly
