contemplating poetic mission

(apropos of spiritual poetic souls)

 

like the full moon

seeking fulfillment

there i hung

dangling in space—

half empty—half full…

 

gradually

the tell-tale linking

of the gibbous moment

of truth’s awareness

came in the still of night…

 

then i realized

fulfillment is preceded

by life’s crucifixion

fulfilling resurrection:

 

it’s the emptiness

of life’s cross

that brings fulfillment…

 

once again i ink crosses

of words and pray

they empty themselves

and become

ascensions to the minds

of blessed children

anointing them with sacred

guidance…

 

we poets must never be

cocooned in non-metamorphosis 

imprisonment of abject silence…

rather we must be evolved

liberated poetic butterflies

soaring life’s skies

pollinating them with divine

shared words of peace and love

and divine wisdom and guidance:

 

we poets must indeed

be ascended saints

of god’s cistern

sharing cups and saucers

of his shared words

nourishing seeking souls

with awareness

confidence and encouraging

inspirational spiritualization:-
