LAUGHING WATER


Where is our laughing water and our sacred soil?
Where is our beautiful living and breathing air?
Isn't it time to give it all back to Home in this stage of our existence?
Haven't our beliefs nearly toppled the HeartH's crown?
Are we not sufficiently sated at having thrust the knife into Life's veins?
(Too many questions!)
We must assure that the (H)eartH senses our cherishment, our thankfulness for Home.
(Is that a question?)
No. They are thoughts I leave as crumbs for my actuality, as testament to the acknowledgement that these words are breathing.
(That they are, Scribe, that they are.)
I simply pulse the winding experience, give way to the spiritual dance and allow them to speak as they see fit through me.

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

            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
