Mythical Eyes

 

With Mythical eyes I stand and watch

The aeons unfold all around me.

Knights and tales of yore,

Fairies and elves on eagles wings,

Light soaring and roaring through the trees.

 

Time stands still as I watch and weave,

The light filaments of stories

Into a landscape devoid of life.

Its lifeless form an empty mess

Of human mistakes and beliefs which destroy and gut.

A landscape screaming for succour.

 

This is our human soul, this landscape,

This lifeless void,

Yearning to be fed,

To be nurtured,

To be saved.

Rescued from its own folly.

Its own hatreds

Its own mistakes.

 

“Life is what you make it”

We are told

But no-one ever told us how to create it anew,

When all our mistakes are manifest

And we weave our precious tales around the fireside

Of how it used to be

When things were olden, golden and good.

 

Now we must weave things anew

And forget those times when we were lost,

Forget those times when we lost our way

through the un-named realms of our lives,

our mind’s uncharted territory.

Now we must look anew at our lives,

Our wives, our brother’s our sisters,

and tell them we love them

and that we wish the best for them

 

For our family is our lifeline.

Our world, our humanity.

Only time will tell if we can change our lives,

Our wives, our future selves.

We must find the way through the landscape of our minds,

Our lives, and weave it anew.

Now is the time for myths and stories,

Now is the time for a new earth

Peopled with new life, new wives, new husbands.

A new family,

A HUMAN Family.

 

Now it is time to say

‘Farewell’ to the Old and ‘Welcome’ to the new.

 

NOW is the time…

What a wonderful heartfelt write my friend. I have missed you. Just never seem to have the time I want to come and visit with friends. Are you still in Egypt? I loved your message in this write. Our world does need to realize that if we all bring ourselves together in love that perhaps we can again find the true meaning of the word humanity.

Hugs,

I really love the message of hope and light and life throughout your writing. It's impossible to read it without feeling uplifted and at peace.

A HUMAN family, yes, yes, yes!

Your post is full of points, beautifully phrased, that I go along with almost entirely. Your thinking is both sensitive and logical, with a strong root in the spiritual.

The past is part of our present and future, we are what we've been, can't alter that. But, you're correct, we have to move on, create something more and, use love as the basis for the future.

'Noone ever told us how to create it anew'.. true but if we use love and good, can we go wrong?

This post is a story of past and how it was, how it could be... thank you for sharing..
