To tell the #story – v2 #poetry

Sometimes my words may be edited,
filtered from a prism, through a lens,
not perfect reality, transparent,
unblemished, unvarnished truth.
 
Like macrophotographs taken,
cropped, edges blurred,
a horizon line altered,
for precision, for effect.
 
All to tell the story, the words,
focus, images essential, power,
how to convey the substance,
when details are obscured…

You know the name of the #Traveler – v5 #speculativepoetry #poetry #sciencefiction

1
A vessel and so much more, a part of him,
glyphs written in His ship’s surface, its skin,
filling empty space, nothing left uncovered,
Words, a prayer of conquest, of sending.
 
2
A kiss of kinship, of His people, their leaders,
voyaging beyond, into the unknown, the infinite,
weighing anchor, going, traveling, the void,
Crossing celestial planes, eternal seas.
 
3
Speak truth to us, the mystery, reveal to us,
You know the name of the Traveler,
don't you, you know these markings,
Their meaning, their gravity, their power.
 
4
What was written about Him in the scrolls,
on the stele, in our history, ancient time,
this image, the symbol, the secrets,
Written on the Traveler's hand…
 
5
His vessel, his ship, his voyage, his quest,
(I can see Him standing, resolute on the bridge),
harkens back to Captain Nemo, to Verne’s epic,
Drawing us to the Nautilus, frozen in memory.
 
6
His voyage of discovery, uncharted,
silently exploring, the earth, the oceans,
uncovering mysteries of the deep,
In many ways, a far simpler quest.
 
7
Ancient words were written, a message,
of His sending, of His destiny, of his mission, 
the Promised that was to come, a prayer,
Coming, returning across the galaxies.
 
8
Across time and space, the void,
a savior, a messenger, a herald,
a name of life, eternity, protection,
Traveler now beckons to everyone...
 
9
Here He is, as was prophesied, foretold,
a prayer of our people, of history, of time,
now in the void, beyond the heavens,
A vessel, a Traveler, across time and space.
 
10
Upon the bridge, the helm, standing,
standing resolute, righteous, journeying,
beautiful, powerful, the union of His body,
The vessel, the Traveler, an ancient one.
 
11
Our prayer, our common longing, unrequited,
so long dormant, waiting, forgotten,
our hopes for this moment, this epiphany,
Many generations in history, our ancient past.
 
12
Alive now with us, coming, arriving,
a quickening in the heavens, returning,
crossing other oceans, other worlds
To anchor on these shores again.
 
13
Mysteries come with Him, carrying,
secrets melted to Him, the Traveler,
glyphs carried with Him, a part of Him -
How I wish I could read them all.
 
14
What other stories will they reveal,
across the galaxies, the markings, our history,
the watery world beyond, immersed,
Alive beyond the pool of Earth…

The Traveler had returned

Beyond the memory of these people,
Only in myth, in legend, written in history,
In the sands of time, foretelling, foreshadowing,
That this day would come, that prophecy would be fulfilled.
 
The Traveler had returned,
As it had been written, as it was long promised,
In this moment of turmoil, of conflict
To make things right, to bring peace once again.
 
Come to heal that which was broken,
By war, the jihad, the terror,
The cyborgs and the mutants
All the warring tribes.
 
Borne by his vessel, this warship,
Ancient yet modern, merging,
Joining with the Traveler,
A mark of his power…

To the Nautilus in our memory

Glyphs written in the surface,
words, a prayer of conquest, of sending,
of voyaging into the unknown,
weighing anchor, traveling,
Crossing celestial planes.
 
Harkening back to Nemo,
to the Nautilus in our memory,
their voyage of discovery, uncharted,
silently exploring, the earth,
Uncovering mysteries of the deep.
 
Now in the void, beyond the heavens,
a vessel, a traveler, across time and space.
standing resolute, righteous, journeying,
beautiful, powerful, the union of His body,
The vessel, the traveler, an ancient one.
 
Mysteries come with Him,
glyphs carried with him, a part of him,
across the galaxies, the markings,
the watery world beyond, immersed,
Beyond the pool of Earth…

Our dinner was delayed - v2

Our dinner was delayed - v2

She was nonplussed

I was enraged,

I wanted justice;

We were being ignored

our dinner was delayed

Our ticket still on the carousel

above the grill, the station,

our order untouched

as others were being served

sitting in the italian restaurant.

She was black, I was white,

grabbing a bite to eat

waiting to see our pastor

going through couple’s counseling

before we could marry in church.

She was nonplussed

I was incensed, wanting to rail

at the injustice, that we were ignored

that others were being served

who came in behind us.

Our dinner was delayed

but this was nothing, minor,

common place, normal;

This was nothing she hadn’t seen

so many times before.
