Or, So It Seems
I dipped its weathered tip
in blackest ink
as morning sank
red, purple, and blue,...
a flash of pink
while thoughts swirled
in a whirlwind 'think'
behind my mind's eye
a rapid 'blink'
envisioning an expansive reinvigorating scene...
Begun centuries back
spliced between
tranquility and global war.
Blown away
peace.
Scattered on a shattered track.
Iron and clay moistened
suddenly splattered flat... Though, contrived to re-figure
mankind's form:
Well-rounded.
Flattering, phat.
Around our globe
hatred flung as in a sling
although, also, spitefully to offenders... boomeranged.
When first started... love was only seen.
Offered in bountiful gardens displayed,
among animals, and to human beings.
Then a snake spoke bold.
A liar, mean.
Destroyed souls; from selfishness sprung.
Then came a spring... A ransom won for humanity. Paid.
Life for life given by generous means.
Man to be again at peace with men and beast.
I paint this picture to create a portrait of paradise.
And a life of ease.
This vision to relate:
An end to horrendous travesty.
Of races united. Singing in harmony.
Of nations, one. In unity. A Sovereign Ruler
and His appointed King.
I began this trek,
this dream dreamt so long ago.
In joy to stream until today.
Even still for it I pray.
As years flew by like a gymnast's rainbowed ribbon
whipping through stifling electrified air
as a silken thread skillfully driven
through periods of anxious scare
even while beauteous beams of colored hues
cause us to pause and give to beauty
an appreciative stare
until reality
into our reveries bursts forth in screams...
Or, so it seems...
Yes... So it seems.
But my purpose is joyously to state
of eternity
and of glorious
life-giving springs.
Of universal
spirituality...
The time has flown.
Truth birthed strong wings to fly forth to now:
The 'last days' of
a wicked system of things.
