Over the Ebbing Water


Question is, what will our reaction be long after our wars have faded, left to its own devices it will die away like an alley way whisper and open its wings and speak,

No more weapons of mass destruction
No more support from we the human population
Release your fears to me,
They'll not have a chance to bloom
Chance to be no boom boom
Boom boom no more
Bing bang a ricochet against the faded truth
Let it hit the truth centerward
Bring out our bleached bones to greet the sun
We need a little help if our songs already sung
Singing of Love and Creation's a journey
A flight, a cruise over the ebbing water
Mother, Father, Daughters
Sons, bing bang, it's what they say
The spirits dancing within my dance
In the dream of the dream's chance.

This is dream's resuscitated...

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

            PER+PLEX-ED When you haven’t heard the truth in so long, when you do, it rings a most familiar s ong. That’s the human song, the truth rolling out exactly when it should.      (If a truth is told and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound only to the one that spoke it?)    Yes, but our ears aren’t strong enough to hear it.     [a perplexed silence] © 2017 Mark Richard Prime
