The dawn of my discontent heralds A decision not to repent.
The moment of my awakening is dependent Upon the slaking of a physical thirst, an irrepressible Urge to manifest Divinity, which is my propensity.
And yet, these days I wake wondering about my Purpose, whether or not I'll make it till the End Without mending my ways, Whether or not these days of Love and Light are only A glimpse into the infinite array of possiblities that might Send me spiraling downwards, spinning into Eternal night.
It's hard to fight an enemy you can't see.
It's hard to to change when you don't know what you want To be.
It's hard to revolt if you don't know what it means to be Free.
Church lets out and the congregation mills about Gossiping and laughing, their faith dependent upon their Economic clout.
Without doubt God was there, He's everywhere but is that Stare I receive from the lady next to me when I shout A look of disdain?
Is she upset because I'm expressing my pain? Would my Joy send her hands extending Heaven-ward, Buoyed upward By a transcendent penitence and upswelling innocence?
During a midnight meditation session of Blessing and Light With those Transcendental Monks I met in a Realm of Astral Delight I thought I heard Celestial Voices singing, But it was only someone's phone ringing; Some song I'd never heard about bling-blinging, And booties shaking while the Earth and Heavens Are quaking.
I suppose everybody doesn't know, but this planet's flow Has been disrupted.
Every government on Earth has been corrupted.
The media spins lies and vies for our attention, while Out and about Incarnate Demons commit atrocities Beyond mention.
But we don't see those types of TV shows because Survivors on again and - Guess what - This time the Tribes are divided by race and The real news about Iraq and Iran has disappeared Without a trace.
Political scandals come and go, the vagaries of life Continue to flow and we bow to the demands of daily Living, hopefully forgiving ourselves our shortcomings, While praying to overcome certain Longings and desires That are sure to bring us back down again Into the mud and sand of material Existence.
Discontent has sent me packing, lacking the stamina to Retain depression, to succumb to the obsession of constant Dwelling upon negativity and dismay, my eternal delight Is the Light.
Thusly satiated, my heart rises as my soul realizes that There is no End.
From Beginning to Beginning, my Soul continues to Ascend.

| Mark, this poem is brilliant ... it echoes my own assertions and observations of the internal as well as external reality we are presently sharing on this planet ... |

This is outstanding, Mark, and you mirror so many of my own personal thoughts and confusing scenarios. It does seem that we are so often too quickly judged by those who profess to be believers in all that God has willed upon us, but in reality, they are veering from his lessons as well as being far too judgmental. The world is a crazy place, and there is a lot going on that seems to be beyond our control, but perhaps that is the lesson; to live the life we know is right, in spite of what is spinning around us. Perhaps it is this, that is our test of faith and of our ability to possess unconditional love. We are each part of the eternal, loving and healing light and it is best, in all times including difficult times, to hold that thought within all of our thoughts and also apply it to our actions.
Take care,
Sherry

Through pain, confusion, outrage, and all manner of modern angst, it becomes a joy for the reader to to ascend through these lines to a sense of triumphant and glorious empowerment. A uniquely fantastic read from a uniquely fantastic pen.

Amen for the finale!;-) There is only beginning into beginning, and anyone who is enlightened has learned that!WE stress about what we do or don't do getting bogged down in "earth life" when we are able to begin anew with our spirit in other dimensions, if we but believe. Superb poem Mark!
