in perpetual twilight

11am
looks like 11pm
smoke with no water
for fire in the skies
streetlights and headlights
for perpetual twilight
no perceivable light
at the end of this
never-ending tunnel
for exhausted firefighters
paramedics and providers
of courageous care
and rescue and relief
who are needing
the same
who are feeling
the pain
of convergent crises
beyond belief
a total eclipse
of our Hope
a perfect (fire)storm
of climate and COVID
racism and repression
degradation and delusion
oppression and depression
all inter-connected
planet and people
Creation and Creations
melting under the heat
collapsing under the weight
groaning for release
fainting in the waiting
wishing that the cries
could wash away the sting
from our eyes
wondering if these sighs
might be signs
of an Apocalypse
a revealing
of healing
and these pains
might be pangs
of some kind
of strange new
wondrous Birth
where Heaven arises
upon the Earth
where every Creature
knows their worth
where the smoke
of a burning world
becomes the incense
of a Realm unfurled
where revolution
unless revelation
and polarization
awakens realization
that we are Creations
created as Incarnations
of Reconciliation
and Interdependence
sordid and Sacred Embodiments
of a terrestrial Transcendence
made of Stardust
and Smoke
and Soil
that is aching
and shaking
and breaking
apart in exhaustion
and (Hopefully)
open in exultation
and exaltations
of all Creations
and exhalation in relief
and Radiance beyond belief
a Brilliance glimpsed
in the faces
giving and receiving care
in the spaces
needing protection and repair
in the Graces
of sighs and tears
watering kindlings of despair
of cries and fears
wafting upwards in prayer
a Light burning bright
behind the smoke
beneath the soil
within the twilight
of this never-ending tunnel
where 11pm
looks like 11am.

(for the courageous communities under siege of natural disasters and unnatural discriminations, and all who are shining their Light to courageously provide care and protection, solidarity and advocacy in these times of challenge and convergence...blessings of protection and Peace to you all.)
