Soaring Home To Heaven

Soaring Home To Heaven

***

Moon turned blood red
Undertaker gathered dead
Stacked cordwood piles
Lifeless bodies 
Stretched miles
Pale horse rider 
Did descend

Shooting stars in the sky
Loved ones said goodbyes
Abomination of desolation
Touched each worldly nation
Lost souls in chains 
Did ascend

Princes generals did decree
Rider approached with a key
Priests made sacred offerings
Rich hid in their fortresses 
impossible to comprehend 

Clouds parted black sunshine 
Plague spared no bloodline
People crying prayed
Ransom offering repaid
They feared dying alone 
Without a friend

Wise ones 
Spoke prophecy 
Words which carried authority
False teachers 
Spoke lies
Blasphemy blackened skies
Of the fall coming there will be
Nowhere to hide

Door to freedom
Narrow
From above fell a sparrow
Life for most soon did cease
Wars raged without peace
In the end 
Nothing left to defend

Few in these times were moral
Continued to fight and quarrel
False gods 
Hell from on high
Broken ones screamed out why
Reaping their dark seeds
Falling from the skies

Ones who followed sacred laws
Were saved despite their flaws
They had lived life based on love
In a rainbow the few saw a dove
The dove sang the
Holy song of love
For those who heard
Free off suffering
Soared home to rest
In heaven above

Missing Self *** Yikes, my family has become concerned by my inability to find any solid fixed self, what to do? Best to keep quiet about my suspicion of their lack of inherent self. And who or what has been doing this searching and looking anyhow, like a gerbil spinning on a wheel? Those Buddhists,  I tell you, they appear so peaceful  (sometimes ) but are secretly a radical group of self deniers, how wonderfully subversive.  Maybe I have been a Buddhist all along and just realized it. But then I look for the Buddhist and Bam!  Same problem, there's nothing there. I must confess enjoying my nonexistent self today, uh oh, that could mean trouble. Now that I have realized my life is just a dream am wondering what comes next, or if there is a "next." Maybe I will keep looking a little more to be sure no self is to be found. The way things are going I might end up a Buddhist. Now not only can I not find myself, I can't find anyone else either.  I close ...

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
