jchpiper Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Perusing around on this thread http://www.ex-christian.net/index.php?show...21432&st=60, brought to mind a couple poems regarding communication and endeavoring to see what lies beneath/beyond symbols, words, reasons, intent. The poems are from different subject angles (for lack of better term), and therefore evoke different emotion: one - a longing for harmony; the other - an often result from the 'no-speak rule', the hush of hypocrisy. ******************************** Reverie Why are you hiding friend? Why do you not respond? Why do we humans hide? Why not open ourselves while we draw breath to listen beyond and beneath words to hear our hearts beat to share the rhythm of our souls? I yearn for a day when we love one another in spite of disagreements in spite of misconceptions. When with open face and open hearts we can stand in one another's presence unguarded, naked without reservation. When we see with enlightened hearts what it is that lies deep within compelling each of us to act as we do. ....Yes, I am a dreamer.... Hopefully the dreams have substance and one day perhaps we will be connected with a resonance that extends beyond words a magic that too often exists only in our dreams. ....I pray I never lose that dream.... january, 2007 ******************************** Reasons silence of nonexistence deafens I despise it with a passion hush of hypocrisy murders I pray I never bow again If left unchecked they breed a rage unjustified to the blind audience rage unchecked leads to violence And the dazed, nescient crowd wonders "How?" "Why?" silence there's more than meets the ear july 3, 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
