CHILDREN OF CREATION


Children of Creation
God is not dead
We're coming back
Coming back to Life
Rise Rise Rise

The voice of God
Comes not in word
At least not to Me
The truth rings a birdsong
The tongue of Creation
Rumbles a familiar vibration

Speak now I beg
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
We begin to quake
Rising up
On Home's behalf
Rising for the Mother
For the child, for Life
For all others

Darkness speaks
With the other side
Of light
Man, Woman, Child
I am
He is
She is
We are

Walk to the quaking light
Enter the voice of God
A language unknown
Yet not undetectable

Inflection's
New directions
Build it up inside
No need to hide
The voice unfolds
A constant turntable
Round and round again
God's got the truth
Won't give it away
We have to find it
Seek the rumbling Stone
The Oceans, the Air
The Valley's of Home
It never-ends
There is no time
To the tongue of God
God's got mine

I'm fine
A rattled cage
Is old news to me
Already passed through
Dancing for years, too
No, I'm not confused
Pay attention
Look closely
God's not dead or dying
We've just been denying
The truth's born again
The light shines within
From within
Again and again
The story unfolds
Gives up desire
Not commandment
Asking us for testament

Children of Creation
God is not dead
We're coming back
Coming back to Life
Rise Rise Rise

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
