A HUNDRED POEMS – XXXI

There within the meadow
beneath the weeping willow
came to me, my love —
upon golden wings
and gossamer hair
what separation held
dissolved unto bliss
my heart gently held
within angelic mist
there within the meadow
beneath the weepy willow
saw rebirth of soul
and fear fled, sorrow too
and the willow cried
“what soul once chained
— NOW FREE!”

SPIRITUAL LESSON

TODAY I met a death
it rode down the road
and landed at my feet
the police wrote chalk
around your spirit today
and heaven spoke to me,

and it said:

“no tears from you sir
what was written
has been served”

But my soul loves life
and what beast could do
what was served today

and my feet are washed
within the blood of life
and my feet are red today

So I walked for miles
and I watched the skies
wanting spiritual insight

Nothing but breeze and bee
a silence screamed too
my shadow followed that breeze

So, God I shout in disbelief
what is the meaning of this
what lesson do you have for me!

And love said:

“what we pray for is not life
and destruction is not a hate
nor death a shape of distrust
but what we desire is love
and the flesh a dressing for life

what you saw was not an ending
yes, for flesh, but not for soul
a cyclic reset was set that day
not to destroy but save that soul

My soul shook to hear this reply
but I know truth and it spoke today
and now my eyes and heart awake
still I wonder about his family”

who are we to wonder life and death
when we are a mixture of both
say the blind leading blind souls
