Merely Consider My Words

~ a plea for our times ~

Of things unseen

I must write.

Of you

all I ask

is perhaps

not that you

approve

but merely

consider.

Even a canyon

begs for echoes

before shadows fall…

Let my words be

minerals and mirrors

reflections of light,

still luminescences

like the first

sunrise of childhood,

early sunset

of innocence lost.

Sandstone and seashell

miles away,

but at play

in the cistern

of my heart

where in my night

slumbers the day.

Let words

become

molten lava

of a tiger’s eye

which moves you

not into fear,

but splendor

found in

communion,

courage and

ordinary ground

which by covenant

we shall claim

some day
