Human Prayer


There is something strange after smallpox
when aids doesn't matter near enough
something lost in days less than dreams
circulating in starched air, suffocating souls
licking the numbers of fruitless dollars
recycling frail existences, as another child
wakes up to a world of dark horizons

I beg the day to rise above the chains of its molesters
past the strangle hold of great denial
into the rhythm of a sea breeze
far past the decadence of dead river fish
beyond the acid rain of desperate tears
into the milk days of yesterday's innocence
where the pied piper flutes his way
back to the shores of greater conscience

as the falcon flies so may we live
free from our self imposed fears
protected from each others greed
in the dressed day of the temples
of our pure and natural dreams

there is something more than pain
in the light of promise
hanging from midnight moons
reflected by the sun in
the promise of new dawns

~ this one speaks to me, Andz...

I too, have wings, I just have to remind myself what they are for

I'll make this my last read for the night/early morning, and I'll head to bed

but I'm glad I came in here tonight...your poetry is always so rich and satisfying

Andy,

Your voice is strong, yet gentle.
It "soars" past the screen and into
my own heart as I hear your wisdoms.

Great spill my dear.

Hearthugs,
Tammy

Andy,

Quite by coincidence I was going to quote the same part as Sash! LOL
As one tormented by my own insignificance I wish i could fly!

Thanks for sharing this my friend,

Peace and hope,

Paul.

There's much wisdom in this, lessons to get and know, tho, we all know humankind will take them some centuries more.

Much enjoyed read, Andy.

This truly lifts my heart
and soul, and gave me strength..
especially in your closing stanza,
you move my heart deeply dear friend,
touched me too. Love it Andy. :)

Big Huggs,
Janel
