I Dreamed I Saw a Man I Hadn't Seen in Many Years.


He asked me where my brother was…

“He’s shaking your hand.”

He looked puzzled and asked me what I had been doing all these years…

“Mostly messing it up for everyone else, much like everyone else.”

Again he looked perplexed and said that I had always been the odd one…

“Even, odd, makes no difference to me, I love you nonetheless.”

He tensely asked what my brother had been doing all these years…

“I don’t know. What have you been doing all of these years?”

He politely tried to move out of the frame of my dream by saying goodbye…

“And a good day to you, my friend.”

He laughed and said that he thought we were brothers...

“Family, cousin, brother, it’s all the same to me my friend.”

I awoke to a gentle laughter in my heart.

The End…

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. .
