The Earth's Fever is Broken

The Earth's Fever is Broken

A Poem by Joanna Maharis
"

The Earth's Fever is Broken

"
Weeping whistle that summons me to heavens doors,
You transcend me into the whispering light
That follows man around when he becomes shadow
For the singing willow tree.
I am not of the true ways of bliss,
But I welcome all transgressions that fall at my feet.
For on and on, I shall continue to search for the richest melodies
Found within nature itself in times of duress,
And I shall behold the purest voice of all that comes from
A treasured sparrow that lands on top of my index finger
When I shall extend my arm for his welcome.
All the gates shall be christened unto you
When the earth’s fever is broken,
But I shall not commence my mind with tainted waters
That threaten to whisk me away into the cavity of the moors.
For if the rain becomes my shield,
I shall be lead away into the strength of the sunlight,
And burn into the hearts of man.

this reads very much like a prayer and I appreciate the weave of biblical imagery - the sparrow....specifically. through this piece.

To accept him is to first accept that the omnipotent God loves us!
Well expressed!

Keep it up!
