Silent Season

Be still 
allow the void to run its course
sit with no one else
breathe the newnes of yourself
let the desert be your oasis
centrally instilled homeostasis.

You,
you will be moulded into carnelian
true
pure 
clear 
ready to win the battle.

When ready you will be awaken
kissed
or shaken
your destiny revealed
you will not be forsaken
by the blindess of men
sitting
at rickety tables
polished though not able
to read your destiny.

I am committed

I wake up
in a cold sweat
the moon sneers - 
terrified - 
What have I missed.

Life kept life-in,
things
kept happening
while I was amidst.
Lost in terror
of fear
beaten down 
by wayward cares.

Finally,

the water receeded a little- 
thought I could walk on water
alone...
I must atone
To find my way home
I must walk in the sun

40 Years Long

I could cry...
40 years
long...
a cursed song.
What a fight
40 years of night...
always missing the light.

Why Lord why?

We believe the lies
and never try.
In circles we go
there was no Jericho
only dry dessert land.
Thrist
nearly kill we!
It took a rock.
Still we were loud
and wrong
not strong
we did not believe the Big Man.

40 long years
even after the splitting sea
it took one generation
long...
before we see
touch the Promise Land.
