How many, in
trenchant fortitude,
search entire lives for it?
Wise men circumventing obstacles,
and the raging bonfires of perverse ideology,
past all the inciters spouting new age hypothesis,
.
Wisdom
recognizing
and scrutinizing
each of those pretending to
be something they never will be,
those pretending to regard peers
but who secretly renounce them to
further their own self-serving intrigues.
.
Doggedness cracking open geodes, faithfully
searching for some treasure to deepen their lives with,
fending off hindrances, heroically believing that
dour determination may finally place
into their enduring hands
the ONE TRUE passkey
countenancing passage
beyond the simulacra, as they
leave behind the grinding adversities
of earthly impermanence, the unrequited,
the unfulfilled
the wretched
misshapen
diseased
daily grind-cycle of
pathologic repulsions, as
hopefulness begs to recognize the
FULLNESS of TRUE BEAUTY, and the stirring
of anything other than the folly of a treadmill life
strewn with the moldering pyres of good intentions.
.
Considering that
when at last the view
in fullness brings contentment,
and love flows in a river of purest repose,
when the watchman foretell no storms or armies
marching against the safe haven of un-walled cities,
when profoundly wrought peace defines the happiness
of children skipping and laughing safely together,
when every hand is extended to offer, not take,
to bring about a more lasting wholeness, and
tears (on forlorn faces) depict no more the
misery of intrinsic human depravity,
Then
those
who know
will have taken of the
Water of Life freely, and will have
ascended into a place FAITHFUL and TRUE,
prepared for those who accept what can never be inferred,
where His reward is with Him to give to every man
according as his work shall be…
