How

Tell me how one sunrise,
                        one sunset
                        climbing and falling
                        reaching up and lying down
                        into the arms of the earth's
                        promise -
                        a new day, a strong hope
                        a quiet night, a deep sleep...
                        golden glorious beginning
                        predicted permanent end to the past
                        creates one everlasting future
                        of yesterday?
                        Tell me how one war,
                        one peace
                        willing and writhing
                        living and dying
                        into the memories of
                        our faiths -
                        a better way, a religion
                        a chosen people, a disappearing world...
                        Written on stones or
                        taught in temples
                        finds one true belief
                        of tomorrow
