A throne arises out of oceanic
depth, and a hush
is heard to ring around this
world - too long made
loud by will and want of
human will alone.
For the spirit of the earth
has come to show herself
as real at last; and thus
to judge the actions that her
children chose and choose
to take these days. (Please
note, there is no ever-living
smile upon her face -
not in this time and place.)
She seeks not counsel from
their gods on high,
for ever has she been the
heart of every living
creature born of vast imagining;
and all the
love e'er grown out of the
depth of all the deep
of the unknown that she still
holds unto herself
in mystery. Dolphins sing
and dance a loving
incantation, gathering around
her throne divine.
Seismic power lies just there,
at her command;
Poseidon patiently awaiting
any nuance of her
wish. A trembling, a quake
is felt to build
in slow grown generations
of her ever-living
will to love and life that
ever blooms itself -
held within the essence of
her beauty's
opening. Clouds are gathering,
and too,
a coolness, almost chill,
within the air.
A thoughtful look of contemplation
lies upon her perfect face.
For eons,
she has paced the silent
corridors,
just considering it all.
She'd felt the rise
and fall of many nations;
and tasted
all the blood that ran too
many battles
through their acts of war.
Is that a tear
upon her cheek - or could
it be a rainbow
opening out within the indigo
of night?
Silently, she rose then, to
a height of clouds
where angels always come
to sing and play.
It was as if an offering
of grace were being
made to fly throughout the
living skies we live
and breathe. She opened up
her arms - and
then began the flow of all
the greatest love
their human world would ever
come to know,
in truth and testimony of
her ever-beating heart -
times ten, and then a hundred-fold
increased.
Then she noticed all the
many minds that
closed themselves to even
this,
as they had trained themselves
to do so well
for all too long - no matter
that she
wished to heal them all.
Then a high-pitched tone was
heard to sing
its way directly through
all mind (the feel and each
sensation of these cells
that we must live); as an air
of silence hung itself suspended,
o'er the world.
It sang itself from up on
high, down to the
lowliest of all, enlightening
in ways that most
had never come to feel before
(such
an ever
gentle grace of love -
expanding...). A blast of
wind came howling then, shrieking
like a
disembodied soul - the only
word it screamed
was simply "No!" and then
the silence of a pause
was heard to echo in the
place where it had been.
And so the echo dwells, within
the words
of those who try so hard
to tell its tale; in
this twilit zone, that lives
itself within
the borders and the zones
of all we used
to think we knew as sanity...
