The Anointed



The sweet scent
of the essence

of the people
of good spiritual water

rises towards
the heavens

Upon beams
of love and light

and those who struggle
to remain so

within this
cascading stream

which issues forth
new spiritual voices

from the depths
within this well of souls

Are granted freedom
in ways increased tenfold

beyond the joy
of discovery

That our prayers
not expressed in vain

When we
expend energies

Reflecting
compassion and concern

for others In this living circle
we play our part in

As we grow
more learned

Raising the sum
of consciousness

within this our human tribe
In effort to cancel out the hatred

inflicted against the communal
heartbeat of a loving humanity

As we have so many times
unknowingly been led to conflict

by dissenting voices
Whose desire for selfish gain

is fed purely
by others pain

As spiritual voices
from our common pasts

Perhaps even once deadly enemies
are joined again at last

seeking to regain
the sanity

We once shared
In the garden of our dreams

and the Creator made for us
this perfect Eden

giving us natural rhythms
Which flow within us

Oceanic sounds to resonate
all through our lives

As heartbeats
Make music

in the spiritual bridge
between mother and child

Ripples within our minds
Soft music to our souls

Gentle cries are heard
As our cleansing tears

Are released and fall
through forever falling dusts

Of stars giving birth
Amidst the sounds of life

Which echo
in the wind and rain

As sparkling embers
of the sunlight

make sparks In reflections
upon a mountain stream

and as we pray
and dream of Heaven

to our hearts delight
as We share in the glow

Faces lit as if by campfires
Across the arc of time

ripples in reflection
Through countless dimensions

to resonate through
so many minds

Somehow as we all
seem to know

It's beautiful
to contemplate the love

Which permeates our souls
In embers of hopes and prayers

We could hardly ever learn to love
If even Live without
