CONFESSION ZERO

She is waking us up, her children gone astray. Flew when we should’ve walked, drove when we should’ve run, and imagined when we should have known. She is waking us up, her children run amok. Might she bring her wrath at our defiling the water, land and sky? Might she come now at our unwitting behest? Could she be not angry, but sad? Have we drained our last prayer skyward?

The clouds made of gloom, covered the night sky made of Love. The willow shivered as I fumbled for my heart to find its way to Love. I found her. She spoke to me again. I’ve smiled upon her as much as I’ve frowned and I’ve stopped frowning. You want eternal life? Follow what you know, not what you believe… © 2011 by mark prime
