REVOLUTIONARIES OF SACRED LOVE

what we know is this-less.
than what we have experienced.Love comes disguised
sometimes as opposition to our will.We re-act to re-activate our own batteries
Re-charge ourselves by examples active and neutral,negative,positive
Even death has love wrapped -roses of grief
petaled teardrops,thorned sorrow.Even pain is love-
incomprehension,partings,loss.All emotions Sacred!
Blake's Poison Tree/Mayakovsky's Cloudy Trousers
Anna Akmatova's Siberia,Dylan Thomas's Grains of rice
Every prayer longs,and hears,ear to your heart
to ask for silence and to allow the Sacred to rest
Examples-parents,enemies,friends,even scrapbook acquaintances
carry a leaf from the World Tree.Paste in your Book of Hearts
Jigsaw pieces(memories).You gather these-
understanding less the pilgrimage than the pain.
Longing for Beloved.Loss of loved ones.Gaps between time.
Here is where analogy fails.Old Sol beams nuclear anonymous
Round Moon no mother nor a Goddess.You understand -
Sacredness unique ,universal,present ,invoked,attracted,repulsed
Every tree chopped is a finger lost
Every dolphin drowned is a dream forgotten
Every beached whale a family murder
Closed system (heart world beating but not beaten)
Faint Light emits from you even as you are sleeping
Connection compounds everyone.More Light than stars within
around ,surrounding,before,after -hear that laughter?
That is you reciting bells of pleasure
adding to the invisible Treasure of your Art-
to love is all.Life knows .Take part!
