Date Posted: 10:20:20 01/20/08 Sun b> "Into the Light" ..poem seven Silently I stand guard over green meadow dreams sinewy rain, angled, my head tilts in harmonic balance as the righteous wind bends the reeds to an ancient dance I slip into the silver night, a slow ebony train of need starving for a bite of the haloed moon, hanging like a cotton ball in a starlit polka dotted sky I have been this way before, in the darkness draped by pain and anguish, I have walked into the light Come my children here, into this great light you have cried far too long in the dark depths of your father's sins in the explosion of his pointless rage as you have burned your fragile feet in the burning cinders of lost dreams in the catacombs of silence you have vested your future in the shadows of defeat your mother's who have cried in dark corners in the chaos that brought you to your knees to hold you down as you could not believe there was something better in this world for you beyond the senseless reality of being tied to a knave Come my children step into this light where the grand beginnings of a new way come into focus where the changing tides of new thoughts lead to promise where the hope of a better day becomes more than a dream where the soul is lifted so that you may see the color green painted on the hillside dotted by the colors of the wildflowers when once you could not see beyond the bright red of pain when once you could not know enough of love to love when once you could not hear these words that have now become your greatest song Come my children step, step, into the light ajs [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
