Let Me Evolve...



The sun remained still, it was I who crafted a path for spirit to flow outward, life to flow inward, remain, and hold fast her delicious concoction of dream.

Why have I taken up the dream and soured its indelible wish?

Who has given me permission to crash my fetid thoughts into Heaven?

What must I imagine it is for me to set her Love free that she might dance joyfully beneath the breathing sun?

When will my alarms finally awaken my child and send it out in search of my better self? Tomorrow? Tomorrow’s tomorrow? Tomorrow’s broken line of tomorrow’s, with my hands outstretched begging for another chance at tomorrow?

The line is bereft with my soiled smiles that haven’t given their joy over to themselves, I still hold the documentation of my enslavement, the shackles that cut into the skin of my hope are like steady reminders to rise with the sun and do the work of the thankless Man, capital “M” man, not the idleness of the diminutive, small “m” man.

No. The courage found in slavery is not visible until the whole brandishes the key to my singular prison, my filthy cell squatting nearest to the Hell designed by the capital M, to lock away the diminutive “m” that have forgotten who and where I am. If I chose, I could fly through the bars, break through the steel melded by fear and dipped in the coals of futility, but remember, I am weak. Yes. I am weak, because I actually believe I'm trapped, yet I alone hold my escape as least precious. So what if I show up in time for my own funeral, at least I took action and ran alongside Love in a race to the finish.

Let me evolve with truth nearest my goals.

Let me evolve with gladness within my heart.

Let me evolve with goodness piercing my steel ideas.

Let me evolve with Love riding ahead to clear my way.

Let me evolve with my affections holding the dear children.

Let me evolve with my stewardship held in the likeness of Love.

Let me evolve.

ROOT OF

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs." __1 Timothy 6:10 It is MONEY, not the LOVE of it that is the issue, the true problem. Love, in and of itself, is never a problem, WANT and NEED, or better yet- the WANT and the conundrum of its very REQUIREMENT for our survival IS the problem, it's creation and our blind use of it is logically the ROOT. In other words, let's leave LOVE out of it altogether and deal with the facts instead. If money were not made by us as a requirement for our survival, we'd find ourselves in a much better position to argue of its need and our want of it. MRP Peace and Love © 2015 Mark Richard Prime

sdrawkcaB nruT (Turn Backwards)

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
