The Walk


"The Walk"



The most precious 
diamonds falling
every step before me
wet the ground 

bare feet
my blood, 
my gift,
our foundations

placed reverently 
before you
solidarity
I gave you 

gifted under burning
oath of Golden Sun
Where have you gone
In this dream of yours?

Where are 
all my children?
Bring me my children
the ones who meet me

unknown or known
singing loud and clear
to me, a ghost
in their dreams

I am that light that 
stills the storms
the truth of life
in its all, its broken seams

Victory in Love 
means more than darkness
to these ones 
in their dreams

My precious pearls
from their hearts
seeded and blooming 
through my heart 

they are the ones
who deliver
true wisdom
bring me the children

a new life 
evolving
too much talk now,
stand beside me

Come child
of mine
Be afraid no more
Walk with me

In the time 
of something
beautiful 
and astounding

Walk with me
you, the one 
who dares,
you know who you are,

The True Believer

(LadyLabyrinth / 2021)

"A Black Sun" / Gary Numan
https://youtu.be/lIdlve4SsIg






"When I was a child, 
my life seemed endless, 
too far to see

When I was a child, 
the world was waiting 
and called to me

And everyone I loved 
would live for eternity
And everything I dreamed 
would all come true for me

But now I feel the end come
My childish dreams are undone
I cry under a black sun

And every song is unsung
You will hear me 
when the wind sighs

You will feel me 
beside you always
You won't see me, 
but I'll be with you

When I was a child, 
all love was painless, 
no tears to cry

When I was a child, 
I played the hero 
who held the sky

But now I hold you 
and love 
is more than I can bear

And when I think of you, 
love becomes a pain to share

But I hear loss calling
and this is pain talking
And I am fear walking 
and these are tears falling

You will hear me 
when the wind sighs
You will feel me 
beside you always

You won't see me, 
but I'll be with you"
(Gary Numan)

Thy Kingdom Come. Poetry is such a dreadful addiction, isn't it? Each time you write the last, it prompts you to turn away and you find yourself pulled back into the dream of delivering something more beautiful, whether light or dark. One writes for themselves first to survive ... to make sense of something, perhaps of it all - then in the book I am writing (my life) - the ones they love... and perhaps to give a little of what you feel, to others, to let them know they are never alone....there is where the poems of significance grow. Thank you for your friendship through your 'terrible' poetry addiction - and do keep writing Lindley, for as long as you can. xx

A walk of truth and a walk of sweet love Tree of life, its limbs reaching up above And beauty as if golden rays cast down For one lost but so lovely in her gown Love as is sent across the great expanse Praying Fate And Time allows one more chance............ Your poem truly inspires... A gem and a fav... God bless..

thank you for that birthday verse. So not lost, one might say "found". And if not in the verse I write, in the course of the reader's own life, eventually, when they are ready. We are all walking that walk. Where achievements and titles and failings are stripped bare and we are all on the same playing field answerable to Love - that which we are all looking for inevitably. That is the Truth of it all.

A little Christ Consciousness goes a long way at present. One for the children and the children in all of us. No one is ever alone. I was watching that Ronald Reagan piece the other night, his 1987 address to the U.N. It goes like this, "Cannot swords be turned to plowshares? Can we and all nations not live in peace? In our obsession with antagonisms of the moment, we often forget how much unites all the members of humanity. Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world. And yet, I ask you, is not an alien force already among us? What could be more alien to the universal aspirations of our peoples than war and the threat of war?”

Perhaps it's more like the Corona Virus bringing us together as Humanity and not some other worldly extraterrestrial threat...Time will tell. We are all going through a huge cleansing process, and as difficult and heartbreaking as it has been and is for a lot of us, it is drawing us closer together with empathy as humans, no matter the colour of our skin, nor our religious dogma. Off on a tangent again, I'm allowed that, it's my birthday today ;). Don't you get cold sitting on that bike with no clothes on....
