Sun scrolls attention in an unpredictably silent performance

 GOLDEN PHILOSOPHIES

 

Sun scrolls attention

In an unpredictably silent performance.

The third eye twitches with new possibilities.

A phoenix in me courts ancestral memories.

 

Venerated ancient leaders

Confucius, Plato, Gandhi, King

Acclaimed poets, prophets, teachers

Laozi, Du Fu, Rumi, Whitman.

 

Shadows of greatness

Fly and fall on a canvas of radiant light.

Intuitive recognition of shimmering moments

Deciphered, by whose standards?

 

Churches, temples, mosques

Show perennial hope.

Sacred texts promise eternal life.

Meditative messages transmit

Treasured instructions.

 Reviews of "Golden Philosophies"
Reviewed by Ronald Hull
Reviewed on July 14, 2019
So much time and energy spent on building temples to impress gods when the real treasure is what is written on the pages of experience. That's what I see in your poem. The words and phrases, "I have a dream," that propel us forward into a better future than we had when those words were originally written.

Ron

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
