I Have Heard the World Weeping:
2015 September— 39.7392° N, 104.9903° W
“They found one Breath in all things,
That moves all things between.”
The Threshold—Rudyard Kipling
I have heard the world weeping
at this respite long delayed,
I have seen the ashes falling
in cascades, instead of rain.
❦
They say the world is burning,
It’s we who feed the flame
of the land that’s been encumbered
by the weight of our domain.
❦
I wonder what can bear the weight
of dreams left unfulfilled,
and who will care to tell the tale
of hearts that have been stilled.
❦
I have seen the world weeping,
I have felt the ocean sigh,
with all the weight of water shed—
a somber lullaby.
❦
The earth gave up its secrets
its mantle, crust and core,
it shattered to infinitude
until it was no more.
❦
I have touched the face of heaven,
I have seen the unknown shore
inside the folds of what’s to come
and what has been before.
❦
There lives a place inside of me
no army dares to breach,
it is a sheltered solstice
beyond the world’s reach.
❦
When all the sighs of all the souls
release and just let go,
we will hear a world that laughs again
in a firmament that’s whole.
