James Long Poet Prose Poetry

~ Poem the 1st Chap. Inspired Bye ~ Part #21

~~ And what if it did long to ~~
know and moved-never to forget;- 
the-humble-cry-from-the-hearts, 
the-needs-of-the-many, hurting, 
the innocent answered, living 
dying, fading-away amid the- 
battle-raging-war-on-them, 
~ inside-its-eroding prison;  
~ amid the echos of their ~
souls-emptiness; hoping 
praying-quietly, to-have-
the-righteous-comfort- 
~ of-their-lost-lives,- ~
~~ again ensured. ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
Screaming out why, ~
~ far-and-wide-high-and- ~
low-in-the-dark; trembling 
~ alone in the cold, searching- ~
~ franticly, for the truth ... lost;- ~
~ gone awry, totally amiss, being ~
~ the only obvious; driving question, ~
~` pounding away ... relentlessly; ~ ~
~ stripping-them-of-their-freedom ~
~  squandering-the-treasures of- ~
~~~~ their-stolen-security ~~~~
~~ and fullness-of-spirit. ~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
So what if love joy 
and hope, honesty and
patience;- consideration, 
~ generosity mercy and- ~
forgiveness, compassion-,
~~ and unconditional- ~~
~~~~ understanding, ~~~~
~~~~ and the-beauty- ~~~
~~ revealed-in the-way ~~
~~ of their-faithfulness- ~
~~ to-the-very-principal, ~
~~ of-remaining-open, ~~
~~ brought-bitter-hate ~
~ to-its-knees? To finally-  
~ acknowledge-this;- and-  
in-surrendering; it was- ~
~ transformed-and made-
~ again through-this. To-be 
~~~ accepting. Was- ~~~ 
~ willing, to-work-as well 
setting-them-free, living-
~ as-one-with-them as it 
strived for the perfection  
the protection, of these 
~~~ greater things? ~~~


~ Oh-yes-what then-could be? ~
