From the World to Eternity
I have surfaced
From a slumber
So deep
I can not
Remember
My thoughts
Before
The turning—
The fall of
November
What is
Locked in
Symbol
What is
Drown in
Meaning
Without
Keen insight
What is
Searched for
Stays hidden
We are in
A World
Sound asleep
We are
A people
In despair and
We pray to
A Father
We see in
The air
Blowing with
The wind
Created of
Fiction so
When the
Universe speaks
We are lost
With no
Ears to
Listen
There is
No mystery
Only what
The universe
Reveals and
The prophets of
Past learned
Through their
Experience how
The World feels
When hands are
Clenched
When fists are
Tight
When blood
For blood
We continue to
Fight for
External power for
The will of
Man for
Everything that
Fits in
The palm of
A hand
These prophets
Knew where to
Listen
They knew to
Whom it
Speaks and
That the World
Walks on
Trembling
Feet on
A ground so
Fragile
The wind
Erodes and
The earth
Reshapes and
The minds of
Men know
The truth and
With it
Hates the change
That comes and
The evolution
We are—
Because with
This truth
Deep down
We know—
We are
Who we are
The self is
Deluded and
The mind
A warrior and
It will not fall
Without a cold
November to
Bring about and
Rediscover to
Find and
Recover the
Spirit in
The air and
The soul in
The wind to
Find it all
We must
Let go and
Give in to
Something
Deeper than
A World in
Slumber—
We often awaken
Through the raging
Thunder in
The heat of
Our passion
This World is
Our dream
Because not
All is
What it
Seems
We must
Never
Forget and
Always
Remember that
Where we
Are and
Who we
See is not
You and
Never me but
The vehicle in
Which the soul
Resides and
The mind is
Where this
Truth hides from
The darkness when
Eyes are
Closed
It is in
This darkness
Thirst and
Hunger
Grows for
The power of
Yesterday in
The Illusion of
Today—
But it is
Always for
Tomorrow
That we pray
When Day by
Day we go
About it
All the
Wrong way
Energy is
Flowing
Eternity is
Real but
It is
This Energy
We Try to
Steal with
Words like
Sinful temptation
Excommunication
And the
Hell of it all
Eternal damnation—
Who is
Speaking
The words
We are
Using—
God the Father
Or human confusion?
We damn
Ourselves when
We point
Fingers in
Fear and
With love abound
We do not care
It is not in
This love
We see
Our fellow man
But in
The words
We carry
Tight in
Our hands—
We condemn
Without compassion
We disgrace
Without thought and
We refuse to
Grow even when
Growth is
Sought
We do not
See a person or
The love
They share but
We see
The reflection of
Our own fears of
The monster
Lurking of
What we
Do not understand of
The love
Between maybe—
A man and
A man
We hold
Strong to
What we
Heard without
The thought of
Maybe, it is
Absurd to
Think that
Love could ever
Be wrong when
Love is
The Universal
Life song
Without love
We lose compassion
Without compassion
We merely
React and
When we
React
We just exist
Being
The nothing
We hold within
An empty
Lifeless fist
It is love
That awakens
Awareness—
It is compassion
That makes us
Think—
It is time
We love
Universally
Together because
This world is
On the brink of
Something so
Spectacular when
Awake or
Horrendous when
Asleep that all
We would do is
Weep and
Weep for
The death of
The World for
The truth
We ignore for
All we
Forgot and
All we
Adored in
The impermanence of
What could never
Stay as
We create
The suffering of
Yesterday and
Today
The rebirth of
All is
Meant to be so
The collective
Energy of
All including
You and
I can live as
It is—
Existing free
I am aware of
Who I am and
I am not
Lost in
The eroding
Sands of
The World in
These times
I am something
More than
A mind
That is
Living for
Today
Caught in
Fear of
Yesterday—
I will always be
Living free
Aware in
The flowing
Alive in
The wisdom of
Knowing that
I am in
You and
You are in
Me and
The universe is
What sets us
Free in
The collective
Conscious of
Something greater in
The mind of
My Creator—
I am what
I am In
A divine plan—
I am unique
I am consciousness
I am alive and
Changing—
I am in
The constant
Flowing
I am love
I am gifted
I am learning and
In eternity
Forever evolving
I am human and
Growing
I am fallible
And not
All knowing
But I am
Understanding that
Life is
Not a mystery to
Uncover but
Rather it is
What we
Awaken to
Like the early
Morning sunrise or
A baby’s first
Worldly cry
The stillness of
Becoming aware is
The moment
We let go to
Be alive to
Breathe in
Life to
Grow within to
Absorb ourselves in
Something
Greater than
Our human
Desire—
We are
All one
Without
Separate parts
What I do to
You
I do to
Me—
What I give to
You
I give to
Me—
We are
All rooted
Within
The same tree
Flowing
Within
Life
Following
The Light
Embracing
The warmth until
We fall to
Become Life
Once more on
Worldly
Ground or
Maybe in
The air
We will
Be found in
The energy that
Transforms
Shifted our
Shape
We have
Grown as
The light and
The wind carries
The essence of
The leaves that
Was once was
You and
Once was
Me—
Taken away for
The entire world to
See—
This could be
Our destiny
Never separate but
Always growing—
Never holding more than
The awareness in knowing—
We are life.
We are love.
I am.
You are.
We are in Eternity
We are eternal flowing forever free.
