Murmuring Voices


The full moon meanders over my view
as the night air breathes its murmuring voices
chirping a song for the evolution of the spirit,
a light on Love's way across the sky of my fated slip.

I listen that I might sense my place,
these words as testament to Love's waltz with Peace.
Forgiveness is the tempo found in Creation's choreography.
Laugh with me, I ask them, dance that I might feel?

My bare feet move in an awkward formation,
hands opened up, an invitation to a poor man's dance,
humbled by tired knees, a thankful heart, a marionette of truth
beneath the sky of stars whose moon gazes upon by chance.

O! The dance floor is most inviting with its undetected motion,
like the waves of a distant music reaching out to my animal's breath.
Sleep beckons my waking life in the dream within the dream,
a tribute to a living, to Life's honest return from death.

Moonlight awash over the field of dark green musings,
nature's orchestra playing an ode in the night's thrumming
to the sacred ground's innocuous whispers. Come, dreams,
enter Me and weave a blanket of stars to sleep beneath...

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
