5.26.12 CHERISH WHAT YOU KNOW


I believe the truth exists in a frame, or so this mortal mind instructs me. The truth is eternal, for what else could it be, limited or limitless, narrow or endlessly wide?

(Exactness evermore.)

Indeed the mystery is beyond my flesh and blood, likely in a spiritual reality that takes the breath away and replaces it with the loving spirit until the curtain drops on this immortal story.

(It never ends?)

I doubt it, I don’t actually know, as I’ve mentioned a time or two. Maybe it goes on forever for some and eversleep falls over the rest. No suffering, none in the after-death, the soil that gives back freely asking nothing in return. The meek shall inherit the living soil and return as a rose or an oak or a river or a plant, the possibilities are infinite, one life after another, without thought, without suffering, without pain, without memory, save for the spirits of the eartH of God and Love and Life everlasting…

(Might there be more?)

More? How could there be more than everlasting Life?

(Your belief, remember?)

Eternal life in bliss, but isn’t eternal bliss relative to what my creation contributes to Life, eartH and Love?

(I suppose it is. Yes.)

Suppose all I want still doesn’t shed any light on the one exactness.

(Why even try and know if it is unknowable?)

Belief.

(Believe all you want, Mark Richard Prime, but if you’re not cherishing that which you know, you’re cutting away at Love.)

I believe that I am a human animal and I am Love, through and through, full Love as was intended. If an animal, full Love is all you’ll be, if you are not animal, full Love already has, or soon will, encompass the spirit evermore…

(Love shall never be defeated by the likes of fear. Whatever made you imagine otherwise?)

Belief.

(No. Not belief alone. You can’t help but believe in something, you’re wired that way, or at least you were.)

Could the next stage be “knowing” my purpose for being? What shall I do with truth, suffocate it like I did belief?

(Silence…)

Knowing my purpose is a question that must be considered if I am to inherit human exactness. I don’t know anything. I don’t. I chose Love and it is she that knows eternity.

(And you’re just her servant who’s afraid to speak out on her behalf, Mark.)

I’m not afraid. I’m preparing for a loving belief. I’m waiting for confirmation from the eartH that I might speak freely and bring her plea to the surface, the soil, the water, the forests and the plains, so that I might pray upon my knees for this world’s much needed rain.

(Believe in what you will, Mark Richard Prime, but you must begin to act for that which you know before time runs out!)

Time is manmade.

(Yes. And inaction is your most persistent pattern, that, and fear, but there I go repeating myself…)

Fear is the hobbled emotion that turns prayer inward and summons the least of the self, self seeking death through its sights…

(Silence…)

Is something going to happen?

(I imagine. It always does.)

No it doesn’t.

(Tell that to Life…)

Life is in constant flux and man has dreamed up many inconsistent ends to his fate, but none seemed to favor full Love.

(Forget the sacrifice, the battles and the transgressions, and remember only Love. No pain, no death, and no uncertainty, just Exactness and Love.)

The wind pushes past our frames as my lovely angel Love and I pray without a word… beneath the stars. Silence soon saturates our thoughts and we fall away…

(Silence…)

Peace, Love and Goodness to you, yours and the eartH.

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...
