Poem Artwork

Dear Readers—

 

Please enjoy the following poem from the ELEMENTAL The Power of Illuminated Love. To enjoy the book in its entirety with more than 60 full color reproductions of award-winning art plus many more poems, please click here .





 
 

The clashing knives of sorrow

and screeching profanities of history

melt into bronze pools of deeper meaning.

 
 

Eternity is this holy-fool jazz-tune composed by Love.

 
 

The sound of salvation is the sound

of understanding: why we bother to breathe at all.

 
 

And one leaf touching the earth explodes like a symphony.

The words “I Love You”

kill, and resurrect millions, in less than a second.

 
 

 
 

Aberjhani

Sooo Powerful - a short burst of intense realization - and that last stanza is some kind of "epiphany". I'll be carrying that one around thinking on it for days...{I wish I'd thought of the title alone!)

What have we learned of love? How to twist and distort it into misery. If mankind is evolving, it is at an excrutiatingly slow rate. Fear and the pursuit of power rule us. And the lessons we should be learning from that leaf go unheard by most. Powerful write...

Well if this isn't the wisdom of Solomon given the new breath of the Spirit and hitting the 21st-century street, then I don't know what is! The voice of truth and prophecy with a hip-hop beat! Eternity is God is Love is Life. And reckon some of us need salvation so that we can be resurrected and alive to love and not killed by it's mention. Sadly, in our "fallen" state, hate is so much easier to receive sometimes than what is so ready to be bestowed on us by true love. Better stop - but hard! You now have my silent awe, which is tribute and rare indeed!! :)) TY and WTG! LOL Kate xx

Aberjhani,

Brevity of words have never spoken so powerfully--they echo in my soul like thunder, and will linger for quite some time--truly, a masterwork of divine inspiration, divinely inspired. A gift, your words--thank you, Poet and friend!

Within the words of this poem the words "I love you" stand out above all. I get the feeling that this is in surround sound with Christ smiling in the middle.

What we have here is a simple and straightforward COMPLEX attack at our senses. Mind-boggling is a good word to describe the near euphoria I felt as I became imersed within the words of this piece of literary excellence. Aberjhani, you have a clear vision of what the cosmos is all about, I am certain that you do. We other "poets" write our piddling excuse for prose or poem and expect grand audulation for out efforts. You, on the other hand, give us significance among the wasteland of malcontent. Yours is a soul-searching, soul-wedded, talented quill, forever let it reign. I tip my hat to you, sir.
