I cannot save we....

relevance echoed in Hearts
minds filled to the brim.

Aspirations ever sparked
alive in the shrine of Life.

I'm finished with living by spectacle

        It cripples my heart with disgust

Instead, I want something more practical

        Where relevance reigns over lust...

You may ask what's the relevance

Of speaking with such eloquence

Your words reflects the soul

To express ones thoughts the goal

A soft soliloquy sung

Flowing from a velvet tongue...

they constructed the sphere
their they'd settle
their scores
it encompassed the ring
men against men
the finality of difference
the relevance of it's making
created by the need of solution!...

Find relevance
Stay in your prime,
Hold on to development
Gift yourself space for growth
Take your time,
Give prayers time
Cause your time will come
And nations to you will come.
Find relevance...

Shines
the darkness
in
ghostly  hints...
Shine artificial 
substances
pretended
to be gold...
Shine
the fake
bleaches
politicians...
Shines
the  real shine 
 of the star...
Shines
the relevance
of the divine  
truth...!...

Fine standing here in line, 
Waiting for a time when I can shine.

Fine sitting here in silence,
Waiting for a time when my words will be of relevance.

Fine laying here in contemplation,
Waiting for a time when my works attain completion....

Elegance.
Beneath her beauty is yearning for relevance as she presumes it to be irrelvant
Intelligent
Speaks with messages that seem so delicate as if words were definate
Still questioning her precidence
ponder upon her prefrences no refrences

"Love is the source of purpose"...

Listen to poem:

The Passing Moments of Relevance
David J Walker

It was in the paper 
	You know
Page 12 Section C 
A long time ago
Since then 
So many yesterdays 
Have come to pass
How can so much life
Have come this fast
And now
	I can’t remember
Why it mattered 
Buried in that edition of
Yesterday’s paper...

Sometimes my mind just wonders off 
As if it hopped out of my head carrying a bandanna on a stick
Getting it back is like fighting a bull , something that catches your attention 
Not knowing why I think random things , things in no relevance 
But when my mind finds time to crawl back in , I find it harder to think...

I reminisce, I miss
My younger state of bliss 
Without a dime
Plentiful time
Too soon, my life, did twist

Thoughts, I entertained 
May not have quickly changed
Or reduced to salt and grain
If relevance remained

But wisdom does exist
As Eve could not resist 
We thought we wanted this 
I reminisce, I miss...

If Cupid has an arrow let him put it's down and reach for a gun to slay me like prey let him have an iron fist to put me on a list of those who come to past relevance instead of wings let him have daggers for my deep wounds a crossbow tipped by venom for my deep wounds have no cure let it be poison that consumes my body...

"Reflections"

The mind 
becomes flooded
with the relevance
of numbers

saints 
sometimes
understand their 
reflections, 

the 
other side 
disagrees,
sliding calculus

sometimes,
the answers 
found in the 
reverberating sound

of numbness

binary

Emotional funeral for lost relevance.
Days, nights, years of abuse, and misuse.
endured nightmares as apprentices.
With the utterly shifting views, this is confusing.
Yet, nothing is grander to me than this existence.
I would like to chase it after being oozed.
Beyond gaining affection for my muse....

light apparition -
is it angel that's captured
or human desire?


Brian Johnston

Poet's Notes:
Response to a Facebook Woodland Photograph that could be real or could be doctored. Like a stain on a wall that someone claims is an image of Christ, the truth of such claims has no relevance to living humanity in my opinion....

Let leave this uncontented mind
     That clings to hate for fear of change
     Such pain of sight that keeps me blind
     When light to dawn could be as strange

     As fear of loss renounces love
     So dreams are stilled before their due
     My relevance is to rise above
     With heart to bravely live life true...

Cries in the night
Echoing through the trees
Whispers carried by the wind
Men sit searching for reason
Thumbing through ancient stories
And borrowed hours
Longing
Conjuring feelings of relevance
Trying to rationalize 
The feeling of impotence
Of being a man
The moon comes but once a year
While tears fill the heart 
Of the restless soul....

Wordsworth's worthy words from heavens,
Ignited ideas with a heartburn,
Evoking my soul with innate relevance,
In the light of 'The Tables Turned',

Predicted in anticipation of such a messenger's entrance,
Distant for decades from the oasis of his literature,
Stayed awaited in a barren existence,
Fortunate, touching his enlightening treasure,...
