the poets storm

from the outside one who does claimthey are a poet

well their words can seem like jumbled linesand symbols used to hide

no one is a poetor everyone is a poet

would you meet the storm inside your heartwith nothing more than a blank sheet of paperand a small worn pencil

would you be willing to set aside your dreams of being right

and using language in a way suitable to a formatted mindfor the bleeding of your heart's struggle and peaceare not contained in these small jars of candy

pieces cannot be handed out with simple gestures and politenodsin this daring place

would you sing when the song hurtsas you would sing when your mind soars

perhaps it is only because I have missed this blank pagewhere there is nothinguntil the heart begins to pourand bring life again

it cannot be written for anotherand can only be shared in a distant relevancyas we all share the human conditionfor this short time

our struggles seem many and illnesses seem differentbut for a moment they are oneone tear and one shining starseeking what the one writing thoughts drapes upon the canvas

were you told only of sorrowor was your heart led to climb above

guarding the doors of your heartand let me awaken tooas a reminder of what I have chosen long agoto be

all we have is who we are

blessed are the seasonsand blessed is our swift return

when we wonder if the world could know our painassured it does for it rests in each of usto speak in degrees is pointlessfor hurt and apathy do not change

yet the snow was never of us

only around our doorand when we rememberit does not matter if it is one minute or one yearour warm heart melts it again

what matters is our safe returnlet us smileat the poet insidemelting at the voice of love

Amen and in Christ

This Rock

all I have ever known is this rockcoupled with this Will within

its weight and its stubborn placementand the only choice in action I have ever madeis whether I moved itor let it be

I have moved rocksI was not meant to moveand heavy they wereand tired they made me

I have watched rocks

I was asked to moveand done nothingyet tired still did I feeland heavy was my heart

how do we treasurethe savored breath of exhaustionin between exertions

where we are renewed with willand stronger despite our efforts

my plan is to feel goodto be strongto conviction what I do.I am.

the calling hand

a turned back feigning fear of deathfears death not at allbut secretly seeks it

one alone can only be distractedfrom communication of the whole

which is the only answer to peace

a shadowed mind wishing solitudecan only distract itself in actions


7/10

thinking in terms of good and badand right and wrongto make sense of its beliefin solitude

there is only Oneone mind, one heart, one answerto pain

truth is not dependenton many believing it to be so

we struggle moving rocksso heavy, so tired nowone by one until one day we will sit

in the cool grass and wonder why

the calling hand is heardand old memory awakensand so do we listen

how could one born in this worldnot believe at one point they were alone

shattered cups we once cheered withand broken in joy as chains are unbound

and out mind is freed

Amen do we accept this handthat has nor could ever leave usfor it is the hand of our brotherattesting we are a part ofthat which is All

Amen do we take this handgrateful it did still call

In Christ

The Shield Bearers

Boldly do we stand

sometimes appearing alone to the eyeswhile drumming our gentle tuneyet alone we are not

we carry a simple drumfor the drum is the song of joy we softly pronouncereminding yourself and reminding our brotherof Christ's Body in which we stand

we do not need to carry a shield

for it stands around and within our mindno weapons do we need for lieswe do not attack,only the truth do we protect

in once green fields where anger and warhave weathered the greendo we drum for our brother

our boldness does not come from yourselfyet so bold we stand

immune to the effects of those who wish not to hearour song

no song would be forced upon any manfor the will of our Father does not wish for this

no, we are drumming for those in the fields writhingtired of tears and painlike a light does our drum sound for themfor to leave one without this song

would be the willingness to leave all

In Christ do we march so gentlyIn truth we protect nothing as God's Truth cannot be changed

The laws of freedom and perceptionblessed may not be alteredand in these things we have set ourselves freeand declare our innocence for we have seen it


10/10

in both ourselves and our brother

we are not marching to pass youbut for you to join usso too may your heart remember the shield

within and around you that would beyour Father

Amen and in ChristGoss
