Akeldama40 Poetry (3)

Sing unto me oh birds of the air
Such beauty is your song
and your feathers so fair

With each glance you stare
out into the horizon contemplating your cares

I try to reach and understand your concerns but, somehow the harder I try the less I know and still too much to learn.

You sit all comfy in your nest
and observing and listening to the songs of others
and selectively call unto your sisters and brothers.

The tree of life may be great
and offers many comfort while it considers thy fate

I see you flying to and fro dancing to the rhythm and flow
Some birds seem to sing louder and sweeter while others are rarely heard
or even understood so they
fly away having no place to go.

Ah but, every once in awhile there are foolish crazy birds who visit the tree of life thinking and hoping for something different
Perhaps a new song or new message that will offer something of value to soften the strife.

However, the disillusionment is still the same and over time the tree loses its fame.

Many birds may complain
Many may be just insane
yet for some it's all they have
to ease their pain.

I wonder if the angels in heaven are listening or are all the songs the birds sing are drowned by the noise of their grumblings and groanings?

One day the birds will be called accountable for their singing
They will be asked of their songs if they brought healing or strife to be considered to perch upon another tree of life.

I heard the angels singing above
Calling out their message of love

The mountains trembled and the skies rumbled
the seas danced with fury
as the clouds marched in a hurry

A great light shattered through the night as an angel
with silver wings took flight

She was so beautiful to me with fire and full of desire
Yet, only to offer healing to a world that lost its way.

She said unto me, "beloved of the earth always know you are loved and cared for each day.
Take not the things pure and good of this life for granted for it will one day fade
Hide not your love for each other for everyone is your sister and brother

Though you may feel at times your prayers may not be answered
They are always noted in the heavens written with each breath you take for his namesake

Oh the heavens hear your petitions and your inner thoughts
Some noble others for naught
Many cry of being surrounded and yet alone
You are only alone when you build your walls of doubt and offer petty little pouts

The day shall come when the heavens shall answer
The king shall call to his own to welcome them home
All are called but few choose to listen mostly because they can't hear between the noise of their own groaning.

But don't despair for there is always someone who cares
We may complain that life is unfair as the burdens we carry are unique and heavy to bear
They shall pass in time and life goes on and the weather shall be fair.

Hold onto your friends and family and to the ones who care
One day you will need them to be there
Push not away the hand that feeds you nor the arms that embrace you
Yet, how often does everyone do so.

For all the things we seek we shall find if we look in the right place as long as we don't give up on the race

I saw dark clouds filling the skies
It brought tears to my eyes
Suddenly the rain came
adding to my pain
The darkness of my soul
became a black hole
No light could enter
I could not find my center

I felt lost and alone and I felt
my heart like a stone
Nothing could atone

After a time the rain stopped
the clouds blew away
I saw the sunlight piercing it's rays

A rainbow appeared along with an angel quite clear
with love in her eyes and crying crystal tears

She told me to let go of my fear and hate or suffer needless pain and a dire fate

Know that the heavens are always here to remind you
to hold onto what is true and dear.

Listen to the voice of truth
no matter how painful it may seem
for you are responsible for your dreams

You may not like the various angels sent to you but, their truth they speak is tailored for you.

Many may not understand your ways and you may not understand theirs
yet do consider everyone is on the same journey to self
it's just that they are on a different path.

If on occasion you meet a few you can relate and they likewise share the same fate

Learn from them and love them for their gifts
for they likewise seek the same from you.

Let not your arrogance and ignorance shadow your inner beauty
For you know that is not your reality.

You were created out of love and given certain gifts that you may offer them to others in name of the God you dance to from above

Each moment wasted in anger and regret is a moment you cannot get back for love and joy on a bet.

Hence, look from within and find your truth for you will see the light behind the clouds

You don't need to constantly seek approval from the crowd for they are equally lost and found within the clouds.

Simply offer your love and let it embrace them from above
If they receive you then bless them.
If they reject you simply forgive them.

True freedom is knowing you gave in your capacity
and you did not lose your integrity or tenacity.

Always consider the demands that many place upon you is often the same they place upon themselves

You may not please or impress everyone
yet, that is not the goal
in life.

Just do what makes you happy and stop the strife.
You are not getting any younger or feeling any better
or wiser
It's time to change the visor.

Many will judge and criticize your thinking but do not fret
for everyone has their point of view

It doesn't matter because Heaven and Earth will still love you.

Years from now when your bones are resting underground all that may be said of you is you lived and died leaving not much of a sound.

Yet, know that no matter how bad things get there is a promise that heaven made
that the love it has for all will never fade.

Look for the rainbow and see the colors glow the pot of gold at the end is the love I send.
