Notes About The Poem

TO MY WILLED EBONY WORD FLOWERS

 

         Tolling bells are ringing,

And mission purpose

Grows to its physical end:

Spiritual nourishment willed:-

 

Those who sow

Wisdom’s navigation

Will pass on and die,

But their Epistles 

Will remain sermonic lessons

To be learned and actualized:-

 

While their white

Lettered paper, may yellow,

The inking will remain black;

Teaching those holy lessons:

Washing needed feet, surpasses

Bloody hand washings:-

 

Though death is inevitable,

Likewise, is the suppressed word

And the revelation of its enlightenment:

And though it may flow slowly,

It flows to the mind's deepest depth,

And its ascension of mind is limitless:- 

 

May the coming tears for me,

Forever hydrate the word flowers

Who seeds I’ve sown and left behind:

That they and my spirit may bear fruits

With energizing juices, nourishing liberation.

TO MY WILLED EBONY WORD FLOWERS

Tolling bells are ringing,
And mission purpose
Grows to its physical end:
Spiritual nourishment willed:-

Those who sow
Wisdom’s navigation
Will pass on and die,
But their Epistles 
Will remain sermonic lessons
To be learned and actualized:-

While their white,
Lettered paper, may yellow,
The inking will remain black;
Teaching those holy lessons:
Washing needed feet, surpasses
Bloody hand washings:-

Though death is inevitable,
Likewise, is the suppressed word
And the revelation of its enlightenment:
And though it may flow slowly,
It flows to the mind's deepest depth,
And its ascension of mind is limitless:- 

May the coming tears for me,
Forever hydrate the word flowers
Who seeds I’ve sown and left behind:
That they and my spirit may bear fruits
With energizing juices, nourishing liberation.
