365 days grieving
1,200 Beloveds extinguished
in 1 day
and over 100
Beloveds longing to
return back Home
and 42,000 Beloveds
eliminated under
the (dis)guise of
'sovereign national defense'
and millions more
subsisting in uninhabitable
desecration and squalor
and All living
in constant fear
of potential destruction
trusting in invisible
shields of safety
yet fearing rumbling
shakings of Earth
while the machinations
just keep humming
and the declarations
just keep drumming
and the mutilations
of Beloved Bodies
and Sacred Psyches
just keep mumming
our collective breathing
and where are
the Doves descending
to bring Peace
to our World
in response to
the Dreams ascending
for Glory unfurled?
Maybe They are
not above us
in heavenly places
but among us
in hallowed Faces
and amidst us
in healing Graces
and beneath us
in the depths
of our Being
in the Heart
of our Worth
that keeps beating
with the pulse
of Divine Promise
awaiting new Birth
transcending all theologies
and political prophecies
and special revelations
of nefarious conspiracies
and manifesting Hope
in the ebbing
of unexpected Ecstasies
and the Flowing
of unimaginable Realities
in perpetual Pulsing
of Eternal Life
emerging from unfathomable
and undeniable Depths
of essential Elements
of uncontainable Divinities
within Blessed Humanities
mumbling the Mysteries
beyond our believing
humbling our Histories
beyond our conceiving
imagining a Day
beyond all grieving
where the Garden
is forever Growing
and the River
is forever Rolling
and the Light
is forever Showing
a billion Years
in 1 Day...
May It Be
Forever So.
