Poem
Listen... Can you hear these silently listening voices too? Listening souls old and yet not born inside outside resounding Earth's fertile proclamations Present voices remembered from communal past lively choices personal, yet political, economic, yet politically ecological Waiting for health, usually patient, underneath domestic inside sounds: music quiet steps graceful and shuffling Behind the running furnace, humming refrigerator, electric lights murmuring, timers of more important waiting, then ringing, alarmed All souls listening before yet born through long long gone before and after timeless omnipresent now Patient for our notice for their ancestral turn in communion's recycling microphone outside life's active memory of voices kind generous as MotherTrees nurturing nutrition welcoming A few more impatient judgmental disassociating yet loyal concerned challenging caustic toxic angers fears festering hatreds spoiling hope for quick and cheap consensus Still silently invested, infested all together in health listening here now in this healing soul place this communion's speaking time for hearing sharing baring wearing caring daring occasionally too blaring voices seeking harmonies across space in this full souled healing time. Listen... Can you hear them singing ringing too? This AllSouls Choir speaking sacred star sounds of secular past predicting silent holy futures Listening together for what we have become and to whom we hope to hear non-sectarian together Listen, can you hear AllSoul voices too? Hopeful Faithful Love speaking graceful undertones background sounds, tunes waiting tones acting thrones performing zones adoring declaring marrying divorcing remorsing amusing Voices listening while others speak resonantly peak then fade shade shadow Souls listening yet and not yet Listening... Can you hear us revolving too? Spinning from non-violating here toward actively sacred there... Listening for our anthem's well-souled turn to give good and proper verse voice choice to listen again still not yet not yet quite fully heard All souls listening almost together Again can you hear us large and small close and distant short and tall? Poured out self-anointed too late for shy doubt, all viral souls Listening, at last, to hear you too at fullest blast.
