A Testament to the Rain and Sleeping Willow


It wasn’t your fault. It was mine. The deed falls squarely on my shoulders, it is mine to bear, mine to choose, mine to be, mine. The self is important my friends. It is who we are! A single entity of the whole!

Brothers and sisters, please understand that this is my belief. It isn’t science, it’s a journey. Who I am chose this journey knowing the possibilities, but what I shouldn‘t have ever imagined is that I would be fearfully timid. No longer. We’ve cleaved ourselves in half and do battle both our evil and our good.

But how can this be? Asked the man. We fight the evil that’s attacking our good! How dare you!

No! How dare you try and imagine what it is that we are here for and indoctrinate through fear? Shred every instance of evil from your books and leave goodness, use the Love, for that is all Love smiles on. Evil is not of Love. It is not Creation’s way. It is humankind that fears. It is humankind that imagines they are loving while creating their own death mechanism, Love. The one they’ve never quite understood. The gravitational thrum of our origins. The silence cannot come soon enough. The world is most ready to love, laugh and live. So, live! Rise up and be heard! Love!

(Silence.)

It’s the oldest question that man has ever had. Why? Why am I here? What created all of this amazing and eternal life?

Love?

Mankind was tossed out of Heaven. Banished from paradise we wander upon what can only be agony to the blind wanderer who find themselves utterly at a loss as to what to do because they don't know where they are. (Foul questions! For the Love of Love! Use your instincts!)

Is the mystery not great enough that we think we can imagine a greater story and then construct beautiful and giant churches on top of the original altar and then have the nerve to destroy the gift that writhes beneath our thankless feet!

Wake up! Love before Love indicates to our blindness that it’s too late for prayers sunken by man’s word. The corruption of the story. The one truth that we must grasp is that we are in heaven as we speak…

Sleep?

It’s time to Love her in return. Love would smile most for our change of heart.

What are you saying? That the eartH is heaven?

Why not? It is not beyond anyone’s imagination, at least that‘s what I imagine. This is not about what we believe, it’s about who we are! Animal’s beholden to the eartH. It’s about where we are. We are an advanced creature in the Animal Kingdom are we not? My! Just look at us? What are we thinking? We’re attempting to murder the eartH! She is the heart of Creation, the bloodline of Love!

The eartH is Love?

She’s both, the heart of Love and Love. Everything we see is Love. All life is Love’s, and we want to claim it as our own?

Oh! 

Yes. Shame on us! A most foul and grave transgression! Let us fall on our knees and pray for forgiveness!

I'm so very sorry, Love!

Then we must stop our self-pity and begin the journey to recognize Eternal Love. She waits on us…

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

Waiting for It

Why do they stay there, between war and peace? Sky’s tapestry doles out guns, bombs and rocks while flesh and bone swim away from the ache yet live on as the food for the murder of peace. Why do we hide from the truth as if it were an ogre while death makes a home inside their living and war dispatches a raven to their door, smirking with the teeth of empire? Why do we wait, stooped for another wink? The sky’s drapery has tossed down ample clues, peace is breathing in harmony with war. (Road-maps are useless to blind leaders.) Why do they hold there, hunched in the gloom? Hatred’s bird cackling with bereavement needs end. Are we not rightly dishonored when we fill its trough with blood? © 2007 mrp/thepoetryman

Laughter's Grip

They asked me to wait. To wait for God to come laughing, wait on His voice to destroy the golden temples of man, hold my tongue until His powerful breath was upon me, and from His loving casualties I’d at last know the Savior. They asked me to wait. To wait for God to come laughing, wait for His followers to die away their persuasive babble and the murder of Islam to breach the walls of the earth as the many damned souls drowned under holy laughter. “O! The Lord God is looming! On his way with God’s wrath! We are to take up swords and send evil howling back to die their well deserved and slow death! Their faces popped and spattered these words as they fell back, caught in His fiery presence, twisting their tongues into drivel and thrashing their minds in the glory of an Eden unlike any other. And then the snake planted his venom through the laughter of their gyrating madness. Tears emptied their pockets, spirits came crashing , and the anointed rapture of their making grew tire...
