Poem
"Sorrow" Reality cries its tears of grief and fear calling out to Love the song heard in all of human kind beseeching Love in self, the conscious collective Love in One united mind, poured deep from the remaining cup of Love held tightly in the hearts and minds of all mankind the silence unheard they are not interested listening to the music of this song stealthy Darkness slithers Darkness comes babies wrapped in tin foil swaddled in place marked in the sands of Time babies wrapped in tin foil placed next to boiling water, a feast for war-worn tired eyes the eyes that are tired cry and cry, then dry no mother nor father holds their crying infant young their daughter or son, no mother arrives to soothe each little one each little light goes out little light by little light gaslit all, there is a battle with no earthly winners, to be won yet, still the war inside each watcher turns to stand, or run, what side of the line wins when childrens' cries are no longer heard nor sung? the song of Reality's sorrow in silence heard the guilt in all of human kind bodies holding tight families like torches burning bright the song returned through smoke and shadows reflecting mirrors in all the resting souls of Light the anthem calls long long throughout the long dark night to stand and show the Truth held within their burning hearts, to grasp fiercely the significance of their unfolding lives - lost, or won, seen for who and what they are in the existing light of their unfurling wings eucharista, thanksgiving courage eternal internal externally spreading to capture Reality's many sorrowful falling feathers released victorious to rest in the arms of Peace to live joy full in the dreams and heart of One the only One, the strong, safe Home of all things - LOVE (LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
