Oh Shepherd

"It is quite common for some males in Australia (especially in the city of Melbourne), and New Zealand to sport a moustache during the month of November. The custom being known as Movember (Movember is a portmanteau of the words 'Moustache' and 'November'), and being a fundraising event for men's health issues. - www.movember.com - In the United States, it has recently become known as No-Shave November around college age kids to raise awareness to men's health issues, mainly testicular and prostate cancer.

You have led us to this place. There is no rest now, no slumber for man while the chirp of night leaks down on him.

You entered under shadows, the dark of darkness weaving into apparitions. We may see a section of it, the sun wandering across us.

I recall the dis-ease tightening the soul, bent to fit into hours of insignificance.

When will you arrive home? Will your guests be staying long or will they step over graves like good soldiers when we’re sunken, our breasts eaten?

Clear-cut skies climb inside our judgment and the likeness cuddles up with a dreadful worship. Keep leading us on our way, only curb your rage to a simmer, feast instead on love.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. .
