I face the sun
in a field of wheat
SCREAMING
expelling darkness
take these nightmares
filled with smoke, fire
and the stench of death
that plague this modern
world AWAY
absorbing light, love
and hope for future
generations so that they
may sleep peacefully
in an unmasked world
breathing in the
goodness of life in a field
of wildflowers rooted
deep into the sacred
earth

"absorbing light, love / and hope for future" -- what we all want and need.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think our unite4d desire echoes through the universe.
DeleteI love "unmasked world" and the positivity here.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the day we are unmasked.
DeleteYes, one wants the darkness to lift and be gone. I, too, like the reference to living in an unmasked world,and the wish for future generations to breathe in the goodness in a field.
ReplyDeleteHopefully, one day we will be unmasked in more than one way. In truth we will find light.
DeleteYour message of hope chimes through above all the screaming. May it be so.
ReplyDeleteMay it be so, but, right now all I hear is the scream of frustration.
DeleteI love this. The title alone, made me think about what I should be doing. Your poem, especially the second part, reads like a beautiful and sincere prayer. I will work towards absorbing the light as a blessing for the world's children.
ReplyDeleteHi Myrna, we need to strive to see the light through this dark tunnel of madness.
DeleteOur thoughts seem similar. You've offered hope for a bright tomorrow ... a breath of fresh air as the smoke clears. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Bev, I agree are thoughts were united today.
DeleteI love the idea of absorbing light, love, and hope! Love this Truedessa!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie, may you know and feel the light.
DeleteScreaming out loud ... such a descriptive word when it comes to the total frustration of the world's condition ... love it.
ReplyDeleteHi Helen, Yes, I am feeling the frustration and I wonder when my screams will be heard.

Here’s hoping True! :)
May it be so Rob!

ReplyDeleteSerious stuff here, expelling the bad or harsh and absorbing the good and pleasant. I liked the absorbing stanza the better, the words "so that they may sleep peacefully in an unmasked world breathing in the goodness of life …" are soothing in themselves.
ReplyDelete..
'absorbing light, love
ReplyDeleteand hope for future'
I really hope for my childrens' sake, and for the sake of others that we can live in an unmasked world soon, and wake up to the destruction we are causing all over the world.
Surely, yes Truedessa, the blessing of clear skies and fresh air for those scourged by tge plague of present day fires
ReplyDeleteMuch💜love
If only we really could expel that darkness.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to stand in a field and scream out all the darkness. Love the way this wrings out the image and lightens it.
ReplyDeleteWell said, True.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the world shall heal
ReplyDeleteYes, so much darkness to scream out these days! Well said!
